When I say Johnnie Hamui had a fronton on his property it wasn't
like like you could go and play or practice there. It was like
George Steinbrenner has his own tennis court or bowling alley
on his estate. I went one time to Johnnie Hamui's house and it
was palatial. I saw the cancha. It was regulation, but it was
private and it made me wonder how often did he or his brother
just go out and play like someone would play a match on a tennis
court. The lights were turned down low but even Piston remarked
how beautiful the cancha looked. They were fantastic players so
I could only imagine they played a lot. Even though you were born
in 1969, you must have heard of players like the Espitia brothers,
Hurtado brothers, Barrutia, Cuevas...I can come up with many more...How
about Roque and the legendary Salazar who I saw play a partido
in Acapulco when he was 60???
