Jimmy Vackner’s comment in the “comments” section reminded me of all the outstanding athletes produced in our neighborhood back in the day.

Something crossed my mind; Do we still have those same kind of athletes from Windsor Terrace?

Growing up on ninth avenue and attending Holy Name we played every sport. Even made up games from time to time. (I don’t ever recall hanging out with my friends and pouting, “I’m bored.”)

Are there any young hoop stars walking the streets of WT? Thirteen, fourteen years old – kids that can shoot the outside jump shot. Are there any ball handling wizards working on their dribbling ten at night? Are they shoveling the court so they can play?

Are there any potential college baseball players in the neighborhood who dream of one day playing for Iona College? Any kids smacking the ball over the fence in the lot? Do kids listen to Mets and Yankees games on radio at night hoping one day to put on the pinstripes?

Any future high school QB’s hoping one day to play for the University of Alabama? How football games of two-hand touch on tenth avenue?

Do you see any teenage athletes jogging around Prospect Park, staying in shape for the up-coming season?

Where’s the cross-country and track runners?

Any aspiring runners jogging through the streets?

Any swimmers hopping on the bus or even walking down to the ninth street YMCA?

Do kids play stick-ball anymore?

How’s the coaching in the neighborhood? Do they still have men volunteering their time teaching the young athletes how to play the right way?

Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, our neighborhood had outstanding coaches. They taught me valuable lessons which I use today.

Pete Iulo and Jimmy Vackner are pissed.

Hal McRae and Pete Rose are smiling.

Was it a dirty play?

Was it a hard slide?

Lots of opinions this morning at Terrace Bagels on LA Dodgers Chase Utley’s slide into second base trying to break up a double play in the seventh inning last night.

I watched it over and over.

Still don’t know how the umps put Utley back at second base?

It was a pivotal play. A game-changer for sure.

Dodgers evened the series at one winning 5-2.

Game three is set for Monday night at Citi Field.

They’ll be talking about the slide by Utley all day today in Farrell’s.

On evert street corner and the parkside Mets fans will be screaming, “WE GOT HOSED!”

Bottom of the seventh, Mets lead 2-1. First and third, one out. Utley is at first base.

Ground ball to second, Mets looking for a 4-6-3 double play but no way. Utley decides to use the Hal McRae slide from back in 1977, where he took out Willie Randolph at second base.

Utley smashes into Shortstop Ruben Tejada. What a play!

Long story short. Umps call Utley out. Dodgers call for a review. Umps send Utley back to second saying Tejada never tagged him.

But Mr. Umpire, Utley never touched second base!

Why didn’t Mets manager Terry Collins call for an appeal play at second base?

In the Lot on 16th street we would have called, “DO-OVER!”

Next batter up smashes a double, two runs score.

You could have turned your TV’s off right there.

Dodgers win.  Thanks for coming. Arrive home safely.

Ruben Tejada’s injury has been announced as a fractured right fibula. He will miss the rest of the series.

“You can crush the shortstop trying to break up a double-play but you have to tip-toe around the catcher at the plate?” said Slick as he stood on the corner of 16th and 9th holding a cup of coffee from Pynn’s deli.

Wonder what Pete Rose thought of the play?

Sandy Koufax and Larry King were at the game. Both men attended Lafayette high school in Brooklyn.

No sign of Carmine this morning.

Fat Tom bet the Dodgers last night. He is happy camper this morning at the Cube Steak because he also had the Wolverines and Rutgers.

“Stevie, that Harbaugh is some coach,” he tells me.

Jimmy Rail

Have to give a shout-out to my childhood friend Jimmy Rail.

Jimmy passed away on June 20, 2009.

He would have been 50 years old today.

We grew up together playing every sport imaginable. (We even made up a few games.)

Jimmy was from 13th street and was a Los Angeles Rams fan.

He wasn’t a happy camper when the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Rams in Super Bowl XIV, 31-19.

His wonderful sister Susan was one of the best athletes the neighborhood produced.

With the Yankees kicking ass these days I will never forget when Jimmy, me and Joe Lee would go to Yankee Stadium.  We would arrive three hours before the game and try to shag home runs hit during batting practice.

We’d bring our gloves and soon as we caught the first one, we’d have a catch in the runway.

RIP Jimmy, we miss you.

Your friend,

Bully, Football

I came across a story of a high school football team winning 91-0. This reminds me of a basketball game I played in back in 1976 where we beat a team 74-4.  Our head coach had to write a letter of apology.

Why am I mentioning this football score?

Seems that a parent from the losing team filed a “bully report.”

THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Championship, Farragut Road, Farrell's, Football, Jack Kelly, Jerry Kavanagh, McBears, Seventh Avenue, Windsor Terrace, Winning

(Part 4 of 4 with Jack Kelly)

When participating in sports there’s only one goal…to win!

That’s what we strive for, no questions asked.  Look, I totally understand about the “sportsmanship” side of this, but when you walk on the field or the court, you are there for one thing; to beat the opponent!

There’s no, “Everyone who participates gets a trophy” mandate.

In football, you want to be the last team standing at the end of the season.  To be holding that championship trophy. To be popping the bubbly! That’s every competitor’s goal.

And for some reason or another, if you come up short, well, you look back, back adjustments and come back stronger the following season.

It’s been 30 years since McBears beat Farrell’s for the championship down at Farragut Road. It was a memorable day for all involved. Farrell’s was the big brother, McBears the little brother. McBears was the new kid on the block, Farrell’s, well let’s just say they owned the block!

Jerry Kavanagh, who played with Farrell’s had this say about Jack Kelly: “Jack was an undersized defensive lineman who was all business preparing for and during the games and a pleasure to be around after the games. A  great teammate on Farrell’s and competitor on McBears.”

Container Diaries: Jack, as a member of McBears football team, tell us about the championship game against your former team?

Jack Kelly:  Well if it was the previous year, we would have collapsed and not made the playoffs. But that championship year we were a different team and a big reason was Paulie Kenny. Paulie was the coach for Brennan’s and after Brennan’s beat Farrell’s for the championship the previous year my brother Mike and a friend of mine from Brennan’s Eddie Leahy, told me that Paulie did not want to coach Brennan’s.

Mike and I went out to the bar while they were celebrating and I asked Paulie if he would like to be the coach of McBears, I barely got the words out of my mouth and he answered “absolutely!”

Boy did it pay off.  Paulie kept us focused.

The next week against Skee’s (one of the top three teams we never beat) we won, 19-6. Then the next week we beat Kits and the week after that we beat Brennan’s (another of those teams we never beat) 6-0. On the last week of the regular season after clinching a playoff spot, we beat Hollywood Knights so bad that in the second half the offense played defense and the defense played offense. We were a confident and dangerous team going into the Playoff Game against Skee’s and we beat them 15-6 setting up the showdown against the only team left in the league we never beat. That was our goal and what better place to do it than in the Championship?

Container Diaries: Tell us about the week before the game?

Jack Kelly:  It started the Sunday after we beat Skee’s and Farrell’s beat Brennan’s.  It was emotional for all of us on both teams but as the week went on I began to notice that while the Farrell’s guys were feeling the pressure we were bursting with confidence and it goes back to the first practice after game six when Farrell’s beat us bad, 15-2 dropping our record to 2 and 4.It was a week where players from both teams were going to each others bar’s setting the tone for the game. It was during that week I began noticing something different about Farrell’s and I understood immediately , they had everything to lose. Christmas night before the game Paulie called me and I mentioned to him how tight the Farrell’s players were and that’s when he told me about a play he wanted to run against Farrell’s for a while but he wanted to wait for the right moment and he laughed as he said, “I guess tomorrow is the moment.”

Container Diaries: The coin toss is always one of my favorite scenes leading up to the game; what was it like at mid-field with your ex-teammates?

Jack Kelly: Right before the coin toss as the Captains were going out to the middle of the field I remember before going out asking Paulie five times what to do if we win the coin flip and what to do if we lose,  because I couldn’t think of anything else except the game.

Container Diaries: Describe the first half?

Jack Kelly: The first set of downs for Farrell’s offense set the tone for the rest of the game. Against us Farrell’s  liked to use two quarterback’s, Gerard and Charlie Kawas.  Those two had different styles and John Devaney didn’t want our defense to get comfortable but as they say “if you want to make God laugh tell him about your future plans.”

Gerard was knocked out of the game on Farrell’s first offensive possession. So that left just Charlie and we knew him very well and what he liked to do. A group of us learned so much about him on defense from so many afternoons practicing against him while we were playing for Farrell’s.  On our second offensive possession Paulie called me and said here it comes, and just as he described to me the night before Ronnie pumped short then dropped a bomb right into Anthony Page’s arms for a touchdown. Paulie later told me that he knew it would work but he never wanted to do it during the regular season because John and Mike would’ve remembered and defended against it.

He said he knew we would be in the championship against Farrell’s that’s why he said yes the day I asked him to coach us;  now that’s confidence.

Two possessions later we scored another touchdown and the extra point taking a 13-0 lead. But when you play a team like Farrell’s you don’t celebrate until it’s over. Charlie K ran the throw off back for a touchdown and after the extra point a 13-0 lead became 13-7 at halftime.

Container Diaries: The second half, what was it like?

Jack Kelly: The second half was very tense with a few guys getting kicked out, including yours truly.  Our offense scored again putting the game away with only a few minutes remaining, 19-7.  Our defense and offense was the story that day,  a complete team victory with both sides of the ball dominating. The defense shut Farrell’s offense down with their only score coming from a run back and our offense scoring three touchdowns against a Farrell’s defense that was second to none.  We beat the last of the teams that dominated us for so long.

Container Diaries: Victory! How did it feel?

Jack Kelly: Now we were the best and the celebration lasted for months or as some ninth avenue guys say, “It’s still going on.”

I knew that was my last game, I was hurt the entire year with a bad ankle but what I didn’t know was that it turned out being the last game ever played in the league. The league folded the next year.

This December 26th will be the 30th anniversary of that game and the funny thing is I can’t tell you about last week but I remember 30 years ago like it was yesterday. Perhaps it’s because I have the Championship Trophy and the game ball on my mantle or maybe it’s because my father is still wearing the McBears Championship jacket me and Michael got for him but whatever it is…. December 26th, 1982  McBears was Champions.

To conclude, it’s all about the ring. It’s about giving everything you have and winning the ultimate prize; the championship. Just ask Jack Kelly who has the championship trophy sitting at home?

Thanks to Jack Kelly for taking the time to share his thoughts on his experience with Farrell’s and McBears football.

Bill Kahaly, Farrell's, Football, Jack Kelly, McBears

(Part 3 of 4 with Jack Kelly)

In sports, it doesn’t matter what the critics say about you. What matters most is the guys in the locker room. The ones you team up with every day for practice and the games.

Bill Kahaly, a neighborhood guy and teammate of Jack’s with Farrell’s talks about time spent with the excellent pass rusher from seventh avenue:

The first thing I would like to mention is what a good person he is as well as a good friend. The first time I got to meet Jack was through Farrell’s football.  He was one the guys from seventh avenue.  Jack along with Billy Carroll, Mike Coyne, Jimmy Hom,Tommy Troeller, and Charlie Cummings were all joining the team. All solid guys.

Now as far as Jack’s football ability; You’ve seen Clark Kent go into the phone booth and you’ve seen Popeye eat his spinach, well it was nothing like that. Jackie was not the fastest nor the quickest or even the strongest on the field. Every team would always want a guy on their squad like Jack Kelly. For one thing he had as much spirit and heart that you could ever hope for in a player and teammate. He loved the game and it showed in his behavior both on and off field. Not only did he enjoy playing at Farragut Park,  he was somewhat of a historian regarding the league too. 

Whenever anyone had a question pertaining to a particular game or another team they went to Jackie for the answer. Oh yeah by the way,  Jack played defensive line and whenever he would get a sack you never saw a bigger smile.

We all have memorable moments in sports. Despite having many memories down Farragut, I tried to get Jack to give me his most memorable.

Container Diaries: Jack, which play or game stands out most in your memory (excluding the championship game for McBears, beating Farrell’s.

Jack Kelly: It was 1978 and Farrell’s was playing Skee’s in the playoffs. The game ended in a 0-0 tie.

There was no sudden death.  Just a 15 minute overtime with a running clock. We scored a touchdown with a few minutes left and for the conversion John (Devaney) called for a trick play which we called ‘Fruit Loops’. We practiced it all season long and it worked; we ran it in for the two point conversion.

It turned out to be the game winner because Skee’s immediately drove the field and scored a touchdown.  With no time left on the clock we stopped the two point conversion winning the game, 8-6.

It was crazy;  two teams held scoreless for an entire game then with only a few minutes left in overtime 14 points is scored!

THE DECISION

1982, Championship, Farrell's, Football, Gerard Trapp, Jack Kelly, McBears, Tough

(Part 2 of 4)

This is the second installment on Jack Kelly; his memories of playing football down Farragut Road.

Gerard Trapp, who played QB for Farrell’s had this to say about Jack as a player:

“Jack was an excellent pass rusher. He was smart with a lot of heart. I will always remember Farrell’s vs McBears championship game. Jackie breaks past left side guard makes a tag on me that put me on my butt, head knocked against cement and put me out of game on first series of plays.”

Before Jack switched over to play with his friends at McBears, I asked Jack about that tough decision:

Container Diaries: What made you stay with Farrell’s when your friends from seventh avenue out together a team?

Jack Kelly: In 1979 McBears formed a football team by the 7th avenue guys but I stayed on Farrell’s that year and didn’t join the team until the next year.  John Devaney and Mike Marona were great to play for and the guys I played with were the best on the field and off. I didn’t want to leave Farrell’s. I enjoyed playing with those guys they were good friends. They were also good teammates, every one of them.  But after the year was done I knew it was my last year on Farrell’s. Heck, how often do get to play with your brother?

I would like to mention that the year I left Farrell’s they won the championship. The guys on Farrell’s  playfully reminded me of that every day.  They knew I loved being on Farrell’s so they knew it killed me every time they reminded.

Container Diaries: What was it like being a member of McBears, now facing your former team, Farrell’s?

Jack Kelly: As a member of McBears the games against Farrell’s were great to play in and prep for. The neighborhood was buzzing the whole week before the game, it was a rivalry like no other.  I remember my first game against Farrell’s which ended 6-6.  After Farrell’s scored a touchdown in the first half we scored three safeties in the second to tie the game.  That was the closest we came to beating them, that is until the 1982 Championship game when we came out on top 19-7.

Some people on 9th avenue still won’t accept it but I have the Championship Trophy sitting in my house if they would like to see it!

As I get older and there are more years behind me then ahead I find myself more often looking back on those days and I begin to smile thinking of old friends.

Bar, Beer, Brennan's, Eddie Farrell, EJ's, Farrell's, Football, Jack Kelly, K of C, McBears, McGuires, Rough Touch

Take it easy this isn’t about a movie from back in the day on Forty-Doo Wop/Times Square.

No, this entry is about a friend Jack Kelly, who played rough-touch football down at Farragut Road.

Sunday mornings was special for me as a teenager.  I would head down to Farragut Road and watch Farrell’s football. If you waited outside the bar there was always someone headed down to the game whether it was a member of the team or a fan taking in the game. You just hopped in the car and off you went. Gerard Trapp often hooked me up with a lift.

This past weekend I had an e-mail exchange with Jack about his experience playing for Farrell’s. (First of four parts)

Container Diaries: Jack tell us about your playing days down at Farragut Road.

Jack Kelly: The league was around for a long time.  The team which became known as Farrell’s started in 1972 as ninth Avenue. I believe it was Paulie Lawrence, Mike Marona and John Devaney who put it together. I, along with the rest of seventh Avenue joined the team the next year.  We then became EJ’s.

It was a blast that first year for me.  Ninth Avenue guys, seventh avenue guys, the Hun’s and a few others from different parts of the neighborhood; all mixed together for a Sunday morning football game which lead to a long Sunday afternoon and night celebrating our youth. (Not many people made work on Monday’s that’s for sure)

To top it off, we won the Championship that year by beating McGuires, 25-24.

The next year, 1974, we became Farrell’s. I remember every Sunday after a game Eddie Farrell would buy a keg a beer down the Knights Of Columbus so we long-haired kids wouldn’t disturb his Sunday afternoon crowd at the bar.

It worked for most of us, especially for the Seventh Avenue and Huns guys, free beer was all we needed to hear.

That first year as Farrell’s we were again in the Championship Game, but this time we lost 14-13 to Five Corners who became Brennan’s the next year.

We got our revenge in 1978 in the championship by beating an undefeated Brennan’s team 19-6. That’s how it started for me on Farrell’s.

The following year McBears formed a team…it was started by my friends from Seventh Avenue.  But I stayed with Farrell’s; until the following year, that’s when I joined up with McBears.

Up Next: Jack’s tough decision; stay with Farrell’s or go with his friends and play for McBears.
