Great story indeed. I know this is a basketball story but you mentioned Yorkville so I thought I'd chime in. Yorkville was a tough (Irish German) neighborhood. As a kid from the Bronx we played roller hockey, the Nationals were a Yorkville roller hockey team. The West Side Jokers were another Manhattan roller and ice hockey team we played against. Several boys that played for those teams made it to the NHL. Joey and Brian Mullen were two of the most famous. Didn't mean to step on your story Herb but you conjured up some memories of my own. Thanks
