My Detroit pt3

Brewster center was also the home gym of pro boxers Alvin"Blue"Lewis and Hedgemon Lewis and many others.                                                                                                                                                                         Globetrotters like Marcus Haynes, Ernie Wagner and Mose Montgomery were famioliar faces in the projects and at the center. To be more specific Mose Montgomery's sister ,Barbara lived a couple doors down from us in bldg 2601. Ernie" Wags"Wagner, Coached the team I played for in the P.A.L.(Police Athletic League) And all three at one time or another played in the Sunday League, which was like triple "A" ball or the CBA .Ex-Piston stars like Jimmie Walker,George Trapp and Reggie Harding played ball in the sunday league at Brewster center. Spencer Hayward George Gervin, Smokey Gaines also spent time at the center. There was so much talent hanging in the area that in the summer Globetrotters' scout Bobby Hall would come to Brewster center to hold tryouts for future Trotters.
