Message: [QUOTE="A Clockwork Orange, post: 1742460, member: 16"] Here's how transcendent Pearl Washington was with a certain generation of people. When I worked in the Syracuse media, I played in a basketball game against the SU football team. I still giddily tell people that "I almost got to play basketball with Pearl Washington!" See, Pearl was supposed to play that day on the media team as a "ringer." He ended up not being able to make it. Yet he was such a hero of mine, that the mere fact that I COULD have played on the same team as him is a story I still tell to this day. He was always larger than life. Rest easy Pearl. The man may be gone, but the legend will never die. [/QUOTE]
