I WAS nine years old when the Philippine Basketball Association made its debut. From the get-go, my parents, aunts and uncles on both sides of the family, and even some neighbors, were all Crispa Redmanizer fans.
The first ever PBA posters of their stars were also sold at the cafeteria of the Ateneo Grade School. The posters were a hit but none more so than Arnaiz who once played for the blue and white. I remember that series against U-Tex in 1980, I asked my dad if he could get us tickets to the games. Since Crispa wasn’t playing, he didn’t. That fateful Game 5, I wasn’t even able to watch.
In college, I sent a long handwritten letter to Jaworski after their Game 2 loss to Manila Beer during the 1986 Reinforced Conference. Imagine my surprise that Christmas, I received not only an autographed Christmas card but also a Ginebra jacket and a basket of Christmas goodies.
