aloud how we ever won even one game, let alone going undefeated."

I'd like to see some photos of our competition for comparison. I remember us
having a big height advantage, and of course some of our competitors would show
up intoxicated. Didn't the girls team at Colegio Bautista beat us in a pickup game
one time? Their style was basically "scratch and grab", and it's hard to play well
with one hand protecting your sensitive areas from sudden attack.

Remember at the outdoor stadium (Estadio Nacional?) when someone would step
through a rotten board the little guy in the big cowboy hat would run out and
nail down a new board right on top of the other one? And the dead spots where
you'd dribble but the ball would go thud and not bounce and everyone would dive
for the dead ball?

These kids today, they have it so easy.
