I'm getting better every day ... But I still haven't practiced with the team or anything like that.
That was one of our biggest problems ... That and the luggage. When we got to San Juan we learned our luggage was still in New York, and we were up most of the night waiting for it, and had to cancel a workout. As far as the game goes, I remember we were supposed to sit in the dugouts, but found out they were too far from the court, which was elevated three or four feet, so they set up some benches for us.
I remember we wondered why we would go to Puerto Rico to play the Bucks on a floor placed between first and third base and over a flattened pitcher’s mound
It didn’t hurt to have a big guy (Embree was 6-9, 300 pounds) along in that situation
But then I thought that if weather permitted and safety conditions checked out ... it sounded kind of interesting.
