That's a fact! My uncles played stick ball with him when they were young boys. My mom had a photograph of all the boys and her. Unfortunately, we never could find it when she passed away.

Thanks to both of you for clarifying this. This is because previously I had heard on television that he was born in Georgia and raised in Florida, which was supposed to be one reason so many of his films were set in this area.
