Pinners is a Chicago neighborhood game played on the front-stoop or walls with angled bricks/stones which can be used to pop the ball up in the air. References and accounts of playing exist to the 1960s or earlier. The batter would throw a rubber/tennis ball at the edge of the step or angled wall brick and the fielder(s) would try to catch the ball as it bounces back. The scoring rules are similar to baseball but with runs being virtual determined by where the ball lands.
