just some of my favourite aftg quotes 🙂

• “Stickball was a bastard sport, an evolved sort of lacrosse on a soccer-sized court with the violence of ice hockey, and Neil loved every part of it from its speed to its aggression.”
• “He didn’t know if he was ready to give up Stickball again, either. It was the only thing that made him feel real.”
• “Kevin Day and his adoptive brother Riko Moriyama were hailed as the sons of Stickball.”
• “Everything was for Stickball, from his early morning run to the hours he clocked at the gym to the afternoon scrimmages to the longer run he took in the evenings after dinner.”
• “They lived and breathed Stickball on a scale no other team could or would.”
• “Did you have any plans to do anything?” Matt finally thought to ask Neil. “Besides the obvious, I mean.” Neil wasn’t sure if Matt meant Stickball or Andrew.”
