DFS PHOTOS: FOUR MONTHS TO GO!
As Grandpa Scancarella cruises to the 100 Year Mark on July 23, he has expressed only one true regret - turning down "repeated and persistent" recruiting efforts to join the Passaic High School Wonder Team, which won a record 159 straight games between 1919 and 1925. "The streak ended when I was in high school in a nail biting loss to Hackensack," he bemoans. "If I was on the team it would have lasted a lot longer. I've lived with that burden on my mind ever since." He takes solace in the fact that he has achieved an "unbreakable" record of another kind. As a season ticket holder to all Jack, Joey, Cara and Drew's games, he easily holds distinction for attending more Scancarella youth sporting events (spanning four generations) than anyone else. In fairness, it's doubtful that anyone else wants to break that record. (Return to the Pools Home Page)
