For what it's worth, it's good to see...
guys and competitors who were raised up around each other still play at this late age. I know a lot of my podnas from Memphis growing up are either dead, on crack, homeless, or no where to be found. I decided young I was gonna take that educational route and leave Memphis.
I know many of you're families up north was able to work at the auto plants which gave y'all some stability in leagues and life in general. We never had that in Memphis.
Like y'all, we had big-time leagues. Every once in a while, when I head back to Memphis, I drop by the old neighborhood and see who is still playing. The rules are still the same and the passion is still just as deep.
But most have moved on. They always wish the energy was still there to make the league tick. I just find it really fascinating that you guys still stay in close proximity of each other and those leagues in Detroit were in neighborhoods just streets apart sometime.
