Keeping Up With Old Friends Thread

I hope that RJ Luis recovers well and realizes his dream of the NBA. His story reminds me of Sparky Lyle, who won the Cy Young award in 1977 with the Yankees. After the 78 season he was traded to Texas. His famous comment was "In one year I went from Cy Young to sayonara".
It was Craig Nettles actually came up with that line (“ Spary Lyle went from Cy Young to Sayonara”)

Nettles (nicknamed Puff) was known for such quips including another favorite of mine:

“When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a baseball player and also join the circus. With the Yankees, I’ve accomplished both.”


This reminiscing makes me confound my copy of the book The Bronx Zoo.

Back on topic, I do wish RJ the best and hopes he realizes his dream.
 
Daniss hits two 3 pointers in the final 3 seconds of regulation to force OT. Clutch.

Daniss and former teammate Cruz Davis score 24 points on the same day. Along with Clayton Jr. , who would have thunk Iona would be the hotbed for hoops. 🤪
