    Jacobs is a legendary figure in the history of handball, believe it or not

    Lol exactly... totally true, Jacobs is in the handball hall of fame!

    I know nothing about handball other than that it used to be commonly played on the streets in the city and that it is similar to racquetball

    REED's Played It...Also Known as "Wall Ball"...

    Quality Sport...A Slow, Lumbering Sort Would Fail MISERABLY...Working Class Activity for Sure...A White Collar Type Wouldn't Appreciate the Callouses and Sores on the Inside of his Hands...

    Fairly Common in Latino Communities in Dallas...Mano Bola!

    I don’t remember his name but back then their were several guys advertised in those magazines and I didn’t just buy from the same guy everytime. They’d mail you a copy of their list of fights and then you could just make an order.

    I remember back in those days checking the mail I was as anxious as a kid waiting for Christmas. It was also around this time I found a co-worker on a message board about cars and I then looked for and found my first boxing message board, Boxing.com.

    Ever play Wally Ball? It’s volleyball but played in a racquetball court so you can hit the ball off of the walls. Hand-eye coordination is a must, and I used to love to play.

    Yeah, well, I spoke to some guy the other day and after a 4 hour discussion he finally revealed to me that, that's just like, your opinion, Man.

    He was called Neddy or something and he was wearing a "Catskills Mennal Health Secure Department" jumpsuit I think.

    Real goofy violent looking guy. Had a bottle of baby oil on him and said he was headed for Spanish Harlem to fight a dude.

    Nah, Never Played Wally Ball...Sounds Like Quite a Workout Though...

    Because of the Hand-Eye Coordination You Speak Of, REED's Looooooooooooooong Been Convinced an Elite Handball Player Would OWN an Elite Raquetball Player...

    There'd Be a Natural ADJUSTMENT Period Either Way, but REED Thinks a Handballer Could Acclimate to a Racquet MUCH Quicker than a RacquetBaller Could Get Accustomed to Using his Hands Solely...

    The quality of some old fights on youtube are subpar. I have fights I taped myself on vhs that are of superior image & sound quality than the youtube versions.

    Many of us had a cable descrambler and watched all PPV fights Live, free of charge and could tape them on SP mode in the VCR. :D

    He's still around, REED. I spoke to him about a week ago. He is still in Minnesota - retired now.
