I just asked my dad(who grew up in Tuscaloosa too in the 60s) and he said they called it kickpin. I had no idea that only folks from Tuscaloosa called it that
im sure your mom/his cousin called it that as well.

I am not from Tuscaloosa. I have a vague memory of wondering "what the hell is kickpin?


Well its the same thing as kickball but apparently with the variation of being able to call pepsicola to pick ball up and punt it. I genuinely thought everyone called it that and played with these same rules

Kickpin


Is this some tranny shite where the ball identifies as a pin?

In Alexandria, LA we didn't call it kickpin or say "Pepsi" but we did have the option of punting the ball once an inning.

I grew up in Tuscaloosa and admit we called it “kickpen,” too. Freaking weirdos I guess.
