Another Saturday at the Park

Another Saturday at the Park

Another Saturday at the Park.  Chicago wasn’t playing on the radio much to Paul Berglund’s wishes, but there were plenty of players out there at America’s public court this past Saturday morning/afternoon.

Nearly 20 players showed up at Puryear Park, including the Rastock “clan”   that included Ty “Cobb” Wilson and “Phatboy”. 

It seems like whenever “E.F.” Sutton sends out a text, plenty of players come out to join America’s national Master Champion in some fast -paced action.

There were so many players, that several had to sit out alternating games, limiting the teams to 5 or 6 posts per game.  But that didn’t seem to bother anyone – it was HOT.  The feel like surpassed 100 degrees by early afternoon.  

This was believed to be the largest open play turnout in the 17 years of action since becoming a full-fledged public court, outside of organized league or tournament play.

It was good to see Cachin back in action after a several month issue with a reoccurrence with his serious cancer diagnosis he survived a few years ago.  We are pleased to announce everything appears to be OK and he played well.

It was also good to see Garby back in action, who suffered a gall blader infection.  He was sidelined for a couple of months and lost well over twenty (20) pounds.

Alex injured his left wrist last week and will be out of action for a while, but did show to root on the players.
