Henry and Union in the 1970s
Found this shot on a Facebook page dedicated to Carroll Gardens. The intersection of Union and Henry, quite near where I live. Mazzola's Bakery there as always, minus the current ritzy awning and curbside seating. Across the street, the current Francesco's pizzeria—formerly Nino's—looks to be a luncheonette. Nice long, old-style American cars. Metal trash cans, not plastic. Wish I could see what's on the other two corners of the intersection.

I'm trying to figure out what's right behind the boy in the foreground. It looks like a catcher's chest protector, but it's hard to be sure.

Peter, you might be right. That boy looks like he's wearing baseball pants (gray flannel with red stripe down the outseam) but his shirt looks more like a hockey shirt. What is that near where we can't quite see his hands? Could it be a catcher's mask?
Hockey Chest Guard.
