Pancho Gonzalez Free Tennis Fiesta May 6th If You Are In The Los Angeles Area |
Pancho Gonzalez Tennis Fiesta
Editors Note: Richard Alonzo Gonzalez. Also known as “PANCHO” or BIG PANCHO.
(Segura being LITTLE PANCHO)
Geezers favorite male player ever till RF. Sort of wonder how Pancho would play with today’s equipment. The shoes he wore were canvas with no support and not much of a sole. The socks. Again no compression or support. The clothes. Always looked crisp and beautiful in his athletic body style. His rackets. Wood and then To The Spaulding “Smasher” (yes geezer had to have one too) to some graphite rackets.
But really. It’s about the shoes. The rackets are the biggest change. And Then there’s These new strings. I can only imagine Pancho playing with these new strings that “hold” the ball. Now everyone can do super spins and “Bend it like Beckham”… Wow.
Here’s the best deal in town. This event that Son Danny Gonzalez and Nephew Greg Gonzalez are putting on is awesome.
FREE EVERYTHING! All you need to do is SHOW UP. (wearing athletic shoes) They have all the Rackets & Balls and free food and prizes for all the children.
If you are near the Los Angeles California Area please check out what Pancho’s Family and Foundation are doing to get kids playing tennis.
