Check this link for a 1975 SI article that calls Joey one of the
top 10 players when he was 18. I think he was 16 in his rookie
season so it did not take him long. And everyone in Miami knew
about him. I was in the Army then and, while on leave, a friend
took me to the North Miami amateur court to "see the first
truly great American player." Joey was 14 at the time and
I could see it was true. His offense forced partido players to
think like quiniela players.
