So grateful I had a chance to play with Bolivar for 3 years. Mind u he was in 42-45 and still was the best!!!! He had the switch we used to say during the matinee let him stay sleep but when the night performance came he put on a show!!!!!

I miss you guys. Your all still my hero’s! Once I tried to play amateur jai-Alai in Milford Connecticut. Immediately I knew what great, amazing athletes you all are. Now no jai-Alai because slot machines don’t ask for raises or need medical insurance. Memories of the one and only Bolivar, Asis Iii, Uriate, Remen and my favorite Gurney. Nothing but respect for all of you. Hope you and all your families are well. Please try to get Jai-alai into the Olympics.

Bolivar and Katxin. Their time together on the roster at Bridgeport was among the greatest rivalries in any sport. That was a world championship roster with players like Ondarres and Egurbide but when Bolivar and Katxin both brought their A game, it was those two, and then everybody else.

Yes Bolivar elorza. ...caching. lasa. Del Rio

[@georgebrennan2576]

Remen is in that group as well

[@georgebrennan2576]

Yes....I sat every sat night those boxes up front seats at bridgeport. I will say when juaristi turned it on 30 milford, there was no better. Jusristi loved the crowd n attention. Best performance I've seen was zulaica boniguen beat remen urq partido milford. Cachin number 57 and bolivar 56...they left to go to front on in Madrid yhat fell thru

Remen and Joey

[@362chop]

Both excellent just 2nd tier compared to the 4-5 greats. How about back court??? Numero uno for me will always be the Tiger, Chimela!! Great comments George.

Bolivar was good. Joey the greatest though. Beat Bolivar in head to head 35 point partido 3 games to zero. That the only stat you need to know.

[@brucedennison2636]

No one was better . Bolivar was just a boy when he came to Tampa as a professional . Thank you .

[@adamsmith2331]

Wrong. Joey was better. Beat him 3 games to zero in partidos. Joeys stats way better.
