Lonnie Fitzgerald and Kelley Altom...
Kentucky State ROOKIE DOUBLES CHAMPIONS! 
They won King Seat, and in the late hours of Sunday Night/early Monday Morning, they grabbed the gold against a couple of game Canadians.
On a personal level... Lonnie is one of my best friends in the World, Foos or otherwise. And...
...I've watched a lot of Foosball in my daze, and I sometimes have a "Rooting Interest".
But I've seldom in my life had such a personal investment in a match, knowing how committed Lonnie has been, and how much of his Heart and Soul he's put in to this pursuit of a Dream...
He was on fire in the match; I think he went 5 for 6 on his 3-bar in Game One. In Game Three, his 5-bar Defense and clutch passing turned the tide of the other team's Game 2 momentum, and his shot was deadly under Championship Pressure...
For me...I've never....NEVER...felt chills of excitement flowing through me watching a Foosball Match like I did as Lonnie and stalwart Goaltender Kelley, who lived the Goalie's Dream of scoring CHAMPIONSHIP POINT out of the back, as these two great, young, and CLASSY players sealed the deal to grab their Crown.
I think there were several others in the stands who felt the same way... It was like watching your favorite team win the World Series.
There are some kinds of players in sports, who by the very virtue of the kind of people they are, let you share in their Joy of Achievement when those Magic Moments come around...
...and in your heart, you feel like you won a little, too.
Congrats Guys, and thanks for the memory!
I'll bet you'll look great in those Jackets.
Alex
