In the 1960s, this wall on the south side of the Locke School Gymnasium, was painted with squares defining a "strike zone". Kids in the neighborhood would pitch to a batter standing in front of this strike zone.

40 years later, you can still see the outlines of at least one of these "fast pitching strike zones" on the wall.
