In memoriam: Steve Mercado, FDNY
Steve was a good man and a friend to Streetplay. His absence is still sorely missed. His name and memory lives in our hearts and minds at Streetplay as well as legions of people in the NYC stickball community.

Thanks to PBS I luckily caught the documentary on the tragic loss of 911 Fireman Mr. Mercado. Steve’s dedication to our native n.y. passions, e.g. stickball, handball, etc., was testimony to paying homage and perhaps finding a balance for both virtual(not wired for it?)& real, live human interactive games. sonny charles Age 50
