Scholastic Roundup: There’s a new G.O.A.T.
Steve Sandler, who won the U.S. Handball Association Singles Championship in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973 and 1981 was elected to the Handball Hall of Fame in 1985.
“No question Sandler was great,” notes Spencer Ross, the New Utrecht grad who played basketball at Florida State and later called games behind the microphone for every New York City professional sports team – and the Boston Celtics. “But,” he adds, “he was far from the greatest.”
After reading last week’s Scholastic Roundup, Ross cites another Brooklynite who, he claims is the undisputed all-time greatest one-wall handball champion.
