Great story. So Roche lit you up? Well, don't feel bad; at least your butt-kicking was metaphorical. A friend of mine was an amateur boxer until he got in the ring and got destroyed by a fighter named "Hagler".

For those who don't know the geography, Yorkville is south of Harlem (72nd-96th Street). I am from there originally (72nd street as a tyke, then over to 84th street). The best basketball player from there is Bob Cousy, who moved to Queens when was a teen. The best athlete from the area is Lou Gehrig.

I looked up Roche and found that Roche is an attorney at the Denver office of the law firm Taylor|Anderson. If you want to get him to sign the card, you could probably track him down. Might be a fun memento from the old days!
