Fun story. The Rochester (NY) Press-Radio Club Dinner is actually a pretty prestigious event, for some reason. David Wells was supposed to be the main speaker/guest in '99 and, for whatever reason, didn't show.
Howard Bingham, a longtime friend and confidant of Muhammad Ali, was in attendance, and he got Ali to show up and cover for David ****ing Wells. It was possibly one of the greatest moments in New York sports history, and nobody outside of Rochester ever knew about it.
