Sunday will be the day of Felsín Pichardo, when the Club Domingo Paulino removes the number 7 that identified him.
*
Felsín excelled in the so-called golden age of Santiago’s Superior Basketball, which was not surprising.
*
And it was no surprise because she was born with sports in her veins, as her mother was an outstanding volleyball and softball athlete.
*
Nieve Álvarez is a leading figure in the National Teams of the sports of the high net and the ball, the fine bat and the big ball.
*
Although due to territorial location Felsín had to play with Plaza Valerio, it was the Jardines Metropolitano complex that gave him the great opportunity.
*
During his time in basketball in Santiago, Felsín played 198 games and walked the court in 3,585 minutes.
*
El Gato as he is nicknamed, stole 97 balls, committed 493 personal fouls, blocked 33 shots and lost 256 balls.
*
The aggressive player grabbed 839 rebounds, split between 257 offensive and 582 defensive, made 600 shots from the field in 1,273 attempts and liked shooting wide.
*
The nephew of the outstanding athlete Lupe Álvarez made 38 three-point shots, out of 105 attempts for an average of 36%.
*
Felsín Pichardo, who shot with his left foot, stopped at the free throw line 1,444 times and averaged 7.29%.
*
With the number 7 jersey that the CDP withdraws on Sunday, he won three consecutive crowns, 1977, 1978 and 1979.
*
In the Superior Basketball of the National District, he also managed to be champion with the emblematic team of Club Mauricio Báez.
*
It’s good that they’re going to withdraw number 7 from Felsín, who, according to Papi Pimentel, has no namesake!
