[@JackKatz-ki9gq]

This is Jack, I worked there 20 years. Jesus was ranked in top 5 . But Miami excellent. I was ballboy, then basketmaker, played a few months pro, then judged on court for few years. Ty

WHEN JAI-ALAI WAS AT IT'S BEST. BASQUE, SPAIN NATIONALS, & THE BEST AMERICAN, PLAYERS WITH REGULATION COURTS, GENUINE PELOTA'S. THE GLORY DAYS WITH FRONTONS LIKE MIAMI, DANIA, HARTFORD, MILFORD, BRIIDGEPORT, TAMPA.

Magic City will have to do my friend.

[@jasonmcormond2409]

I was an amateur player back in the day and because I worked at Milford jaialai I got to use the court with other employees.i miss those days so much.

[@manuelreyes-rp4uc]

TRUE… THE ONLY TRADITIONAL CANCHA NOW AS WELL AS THE REAL PELOTA IS AT DANIA WITH IT’s SEASONAL PROGRAM.

[@williamswanfeld8950]

Nice,where did you get this video that suddenly appeared, after all these years ,,,pro camera does a nice job of copying

[@Jai-Alai_Aficionado]

@@williamswanfeld8950 My grandfather and father had life long careers in Jai-Alai. He kept a lot of old tapes and discs from back then. I do professional video and film work for a living so I was able to capture, upscale, and color correct these old videos

[@davevannoy664]

Dang! Video quality is excellent! And real deal Jai Alai!

Thank you for posting

[@imalittlebitcountry]

Asis was not a champion doubles player, but in singles he had that awesome right side rebote that had 200 Lbs behind it! No way anyone human could take this guy in singles, and when he wanted to leave early, he would serve all winners in a row bouncing the ball over their heads, which I think later got outlawed. Jai alai will never grow old if we pass all these great vids to the next generation.

[@carlbruun386]

That’s some high quality playing right there.

[@betostesia]

Ezkerrik azko. Muchas gracias, video histórico

[@bobdennison207]

the greatest ball sport game ever

[@dunkawunka2278]

Fastest sure, but not the greatest.

Que lindo recuerdo. Volví a vivir la emoción de aquellas noches en el Miami Jai Alai

[@3John-Bishop]

The Miami team was a lock..no contest here.

[@stevenweiss3432]

I think that it was 2-2 going into this partido but Asis was unstoppable this evening

[@victorvalcarce9554]

I guess lock ain't what it used to be. Miami lost twice and Tampa had home cancha advantage. I'd give both teams their due.

[@chop3625]

Asis was one big front courter.

[@josephsullivan2021]

@@chop3625 My favorite player at Miami when I lived there. He was so awesome in singles. I always felt he tried too hard in doubles and make miscues.

[@Direitotv]

Good times
