I used to watch him playing volleyball in the sand at Manhattan Beach back in 1971 and 1972. That is how he stayed in shape in the off season. He went to the volley ball court and put his name on the list of people waiting to play, just like everybody else. When one of the two player team lost a game, the next two names on the list went in and played until they lost. Wilt Chamberlain and his Joe Sixpack team mate were out on that sand all day long.
“He went to the volley ball court and put his name on the list of people waiting to play, just like everybody else.”
That is SO COOL. A guy that could OWN THE BEACH instead played by the rules and waited his turn.
VERY IMPRESSIVE MAN. Very sad that he died so (relatively) young (at 63).
