at milford jai-alai there was a player named Gaydos that took a direct hit of a right side from another player that fractured his orbit and cheek bone and i believe also broke his jaw...

years later i was watching some old tapes of the sports channel games of the week that used to be played at milford and in 1 show they talked about the injury and showed it on tv...

i saw Gaydos during the final season at newport in the stands 1 day and thankfully he looked great...

Mike was a great kid on and off the court and very well liked in the locker room...
