As many of you may have observed, I have come on board to announce
Jai Alai at Dania on a limited basis. And I wholeheatedly agree
with your comments. The "unforced error" catch-and-throw
jai alai is as confounding and aggravating to me as it must be
to all of you. I am a dedicated fan of Jai Alai for over 30 years,and
came to Dania from Tampa Jai-Alai (R.I.P.). And you're correct
"point to the 7" just doesn't get it done. The excitement,
crescendo and pace of Jai-Alai is not a lost art...and is alive
and well in my heart (which I HAVE NOT lost regardless of the
general downward spiral of interest in Jai Alai by the general
public). My performances are limited as I have a business to run,
but I promise all of you that I will continue to deliver, to the
best of my ability, the type of announcing that you all deserve
to hear when watching Jai Alai. It is most difficult, as you might
imagine, to make a mundane point sound exciting. But on those
occasions when the point is HOT, and the Jai Alai is of great
calibre, I will do my very best to give you the play-by-play with
all I've got. I take the pronunciation of player's names, the
proper name of the catches and shots, and the pace of the point
very seriously. WE are the few, and dedicated hard-core fans of
the game!
