Some time back I was listening to some old-timers (70+) talk about some of the gyms they used to play in. I'm sure the stories have gotten better over the years, but the three I recall, in the order in which I enjoyed them:
#3 "The locker room was 1/4 mile away from the gym in a separate building, and we had to run through the snow in our shorts to get to the gym."
#2 "The ceiling was only about 10 feet high, so you couldn't shoot from beyond the free throw line without hitting the ceiling!"
#1 (My favorite)"The heat in the gym was a wood stove located right in the middle of the floor. It set one helluva pick!"
Two guys reported having played in the gym with the wood stove, so I think it was legitimate!
