Thanks to my friend and racquetball expert Randy Stafford for sending along this flier of a bit of sports trivia that deserves remembrance: the handball versus racquetball match in 1972 in Memphis between Paul Haber and Bud Muehlheisen. It was billed as “Hands vs. Racquet.”
Stafford has what he believes is possibly the only flier left from the event that matched two highly skilled athletes with very different personalities and, according to Sports Illustrated, drew more than $30,000 in on-site wagers.
