JAWO PLAYS AGAIN IN GINS VS. MOBILINE
Manila, Sept. 17, 1998 - Legendary cager Sonny Jaworski, now a member of the Philippine Senate, returns to play with his old team Ginebra San Miguel when it faces Mobiline for the solo lead in the PBA Centennial Cup this Saturday in Butuan City.
It's been more than a year since the Big J, now 52 years old, last played in a PBA game. The last time was May 26, 1997, the title-clinching Game 6 of the PBA All-Filipino Cup Finals between Ginebra and Purefoods, which Purefoods won.
He told reporters last Friday that he was ready to play again.
In Iloilo City last year, on his 51st birthday (March 8), Jaworski's game was described as near- flawless in 11 minutes of play. Jaworski played in 19 of Ginebra's 28 games in the 1997 All- Filipino Cup. He hasn't played in the league since.
