At the North Miami Amatuer fronton there were so many occurrences
of broken bones, a lot of knocked out teeth and of course quite
a bit of mopped up blood. I even remember one guy dieing on the
court but that was due to a heart attack. My guess is that the
cause of so many injuries on the amateur court was the inexperience
of the players. Some guys just wound up and fired the pelota
without having a clue where it was going. The frequent tip of
the ball off the frontcouters cesta into the backcourters face/arm/leg/back/etc.
was also a common cause for a lot of injuries.
Also it was Cuvet who turned a rebote into Regis' face and
Arriaga's. Regis wasnt the best backcourter on the roster but
when he teamed up with Beheretche they had a very impressive win
percentage. The 'French Connection'
