Hi all, I got word in a jai alai group chat that Al Amada had passed away. Not going to get into the hyperbole of it all as I didn't know him well, but it sounds like he was a Superfan of jai alai before the term existed.

I'm sure others can probably say plenty. He was 98 years young. I remember that he was out on Matt's court when it first opened while he was in his early to mid 80's.

I wish I knew him better than I did.
