For those that were at the Citrus that a few years ago, nuff said...
A contingent of CT people were coming down, friends and fans of
Hoey. Hoey was hurting, and playing poorly to that point. He had
been getting booed and heckled a bit to that point.
Well after another point he missed Hoey took off his cesta and
threw at the screen towards the crowd!
Now Ive been going to jai alai for since the early 80's on a regular
basis, and been in packed houses before, but,, Everyone and I
mean Everyone was booing Hoey as loud as they could, I dont have
a problem saying I was joining in on it. It was a stupid thing
todo. Well, woulndt you know it Hoey and his partner had were
up on deck to come up again! The crowd already was starting to
boo Hoey as he was waiting to come up. I believe the if game point
had won, he wouldnt have had to come out, But, there he goes out
and the crowd went nuts again! I mean long and loud throughout
the point.
If he hadnt done what he did, you could have felt sorry for him.
I believe he got a 2 week suspension for that, and essetially
that ended his career at Orlando and everywhere else.
