Great stuff on here!
Hope it's a big success for you.
Thank you, Bruce! Appreciate your interest. It's an off-the-wall idea, but I want these stories to always be available to people.
Hi Mark, I found your site and always enjoyed your writing (and still do on the Pacer's website). I have been a life long Pacer fan, and my favorite player was Billy Keller. My first stories to read and listen to on your site, were on Billy Keller, and I enjoyed them very much and look forward to the rest of the information on your site. I had a question for you, could you give me more information on the end of Billy's playing days? I know he retired after having knee trouble but do not know much after that. I know he tried to come back the following year and was the final cut of the team. Can you give me any more insight on what happened in his comeback try? Thanks, and keep up the great work you do !
Did I ever respond to this question. Sorry if I did not. Let me know and I will.
I'm sorry, this slipped my attention for so long. Nearly five years it seems. It's hard to explain why Keller was cut - especially the way Slick Leonard did it, as outlined in the story "Keller cast a large shadow." To release him the day before a preseason game at Purdue was heartless. The Pacers got ripped for it in the newspaper in Lafayette. There really was no good reason. Keller would have been every bit as good a backup guard as any of the others they kept and he was playing well in the preseason games. Billy is still bitter about it today. It's a reminder of how difficult it is for a player to get out of the game gracefully.
Hey Mark,
Congratulations on the website! I've signed up as lifetime member. Looking forward to getting caught up on all of the "One on One's"!
Best,
Pete Donahoe
