Iparaldekoa, your response was what I was looking for. I knew
this subject would pique the competitive sparks forever inside
us. But you went on and were patient with your rebutals and answers
back to some of the mindless wonders out there. They didn't even
begin to comprehend what you were telling them about Francisco
Hormaechea...you could figure that out when they argued back about
Churruca! Try telling them about Chasio II never being on the
cancha floor ever!
These are the same "fans" who believe they have the
right to go to the fronton or any arena just to yell obscenities
or anything crude at the players to get some attention. When I
went to Ft. Pierce this past season, there was a man and wife
sitting in front me, taking delight in yelling crude remarks at
Benny, Orbea, Troy and others...worse yet, they had their 2 children
with them, about 6 & 7 years old. The children were mimicing
their parents and saying the same crude remarks while the parents
were egging them on and laughing at the attention they were receiving!
So thanks to you and Scott for coming out and responding to UGH
and the rest of the chalkies and posters that will never have
a clue what it is like or especially what it used to be like.
They make for a sad, sad picture of what I hope is the minority
of the mind set of the average fan out there.
