To continue the thread drift via talk of Elgin Baylor…
I attended Montana State University in the late fifties. Our Montana State Bobcats scheduled games each year against Seattle University. Baylor played two seasons with Seattle, and, boy, did we fans get excited when Elgin came to town! We had a brand new field at Montana State in 1958, and a damn good team as well. Ten thousand rabid fans showed up to cheer our hero, Larry Chaney, battle toe-to-toe with Elgin Baylor. The Chanay-Baylor was a great matchup, although our home team lost the battle 77-78! One of my favorite all-time basketball games!
I never met Elgin Baylor in person, but Larry Chaney was a good buddy of mine!
