| SPECIAL CLASSIC EDITION |
|
Ange vs. Sammy - Early 70's: It was the dream volleyball matchup between the Harbor Avenue toughguys and the All-Itayans as Joey & Sammy went up against Pat and Ange. After a couple of close calls overruled by Swedetown's muscle men, a pissed-off Angelo decided to do things like they do in the old country. Sammy went to spike and Ange undercut him and took his legs out. Sam then came down on top of Ange and after some big time pushing and shoving Ange flipped out nuts and really let him have it in Siciyan. Pat, wearing his traditional pinstripe gym shorts and sleeveless t-shirt which he wore to EVERY picnic, stood in disbelief as the then-buff Angelo went off on Sam. Loretta came over and put some ice on Ange's bloody lip and everyone had to go sit.
Tommy Saint vs. Gary - Late 60's ('68 or '69): Marge and Jerry Barone never saw as much action as on that day when they had a big Sunday birthday party at their house with about fifty 13-year-old kids runnin around. Gary had a ball darting around slapping and wrestling with everyone (like usual), until he got to Tom Saint. As Gary enjoyed rocking back and forth on that horse Marge had in the backyard big Tommy came for payback and just knocked the little Nort off the rocking horse. The funniest part of the incident happened when some Simorell relative, a bystander, ran over to Ange and said, "Angelo! Your son is fighting!!"
Relaxed Dave vs. Alan - Crow loses turtle in early 70's: A friendly golf match turned into a brawl as family gamblers Dave & Alan couldn't tee off without a side bet. It was $5 a man when Alan "Fud" Guerini & Jeff O played David & The Crow out at Greg's place in Jefferson. On the last hole, thinking that he had the match won as well as his $10 side bet with Dave, Fud decided to start jeering at Savarise who was lining up the almost impossible match putt from off the green. The Crow found a turtle near the lake and put it in his golf bag while cool and totally relaxed Dave sank the unbelievable putt from way out. Driving home in Crow's gold Plymouth Fury, Ter and Jeff watched on as Fud, unable to take any more of Dave's shit about sinking the putt, slapped Dave in the back of the head. Dave then wacked Fud right in the face and Fud had nothing left to give so he resorted to Crow's turtle. Guerini launched the poor amphibian, hitting Dave smack in the back of the head and careening out the car window. "JESUS, I WANTED THAT TURTLE!" said Crow and they headed home and no one said a word.
Alan vs. Richard - 1966 or 67: After seeing Alan crowding home plate, catcher Rich-O told star pitcher Dave Sav to throw "a little chin music" just like Sam McDowell of the Indians. Fud didn't appreciate the close pitch and Rich got the brunt of the bat. In a rage, Father Sam said he was "sick of Harbor Avenue" and gathered up his "tribe" in that big blue wagon and floored it down Harbor Avenue, slamming the brakes in front of Alan's and then coming right back. |
