They started out as a team of employees at at a goodyear plant.<br />2. Goodyear developed the type of rubber used in basketball (and other sports) so their team would have good shoes.<br />3. The shoes were called "wingfoots," hence the name.<br />4. Back in those days Goodyear had a whole line of "wingfoot" shoes including boots and ladies shoes.<br /><br />If you don't mind, I'm going to follow along.Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-37872707397511031262010-03-15T09:12:21.497-07:002010-03-15T09:12:21.497-07:00#77 is getting mauled by that defender on the insi...#77 is getting mauled by that defender on the inside! Did that call it? Was it an intentional foul? Did your dad have to negotiate with the refs? Actually, I hope he didn't need to. <br /><br />You didn't mention which high school or college he played for. <br /><br />Love the old unies. <br /><br />I'm pretty much a football and baseball follower, but I do get interested in March madness.Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-76293498569338755662010-03-15T06:12:30.640-07:002010-03-15T06:12:30.640-07:00Such nice memories for you in this post...love the...Such nice memories for you in this post...love the vintage photo...Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345580399066644764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-7509121039252082432010-03-15T00:16:46.550-07:002010-03-15T00:16:46.550-07:00I'm really enjoying getting to know your dad a...I'm really enjoying getting to know your dad and you. Both of you are more fascinating with every new story. Looks like the art of negotiation rubbed off on you too. Clever girl.<br />Yugoslavia was always big on basketball. My dad was 6' 2". But he couldn't play and neither could I. I remember a little Philipino girl dribbling circles around me when I thought I wanted to try out for the girls basketball team in HS. I stuck to enjoying marching band.Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098034737961019226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-31630258552230177892010-03-14T16:12:25.760-07:002010-03-14T16:12:25.760-07:00Not sure I'm quite ready for "the madness...Not sure I'm quite ready for "the madness", but your story is a very loving tribute to your father.J.
