old fan attends first Spurs game
Her magenta-colored nails clutched a pink-and-teal clapper that rarely was still as she watched the game Monday with wide eyes and a toothy grin from her wheelchair on the 26th row.
Covered in a black fleece blanket adorned with Spurs logos, Sanchez wore the jersey of Manu Ginobili - her favorite player - and a pair of enormous white basketball shoes that Ginobili signed and gave her for her 100th birthday.
After the first quarter, the Spurs Coyote visited her to deliver hugs and kisses,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/][b]duvetica down jackets men[/b][/url], a T-shirt and other goodies.
"It so beautiful," Sanchez said. "I so lucky, and I really happy."
A volunteer at HCR Manor Care, who happens to also be a season ticket-holder, gave Sanchez and four other residents, along with their plus-ones, tickets to Monday game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Staff and other residents at the nursing home selected the five lucky attendees.

"I was so surprised when they told me I was coming," Sanchez said. "I never thought I would come to a game,[url=http://merrellchameleonboots.webstarts.com/][b]http://merrellchameleonboots.webstarts.com/[/b][/url], and this year, they pretty good."
When the Spurs, then called the Dallas Chaparrals moved to town in 1973, Sanchez would watch their basketball games so she be prepared to recap them with one of her four children,[url=http://cheapsoccercleats.webmium.com/][b]Cheap Soccer Cleats[/b][/url], a son who she has now outlived.
"He would come visit her and they would discuss the game,[url=http://parajumpersoutletdanmark.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Jakke outlet[/b][/url]," said Delia Perez,[url=http://woolrichdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Deutschland Woolrich Arctic Jacket Online Shop Damen and Herren outlet deutschland[/b][/url], one of Sanchez daughters, who bought a ticket along with her daughter below Sanchez wheelchair-accessible seat. "She would say,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets canada online[/b][/url], 'They should have done this or that. She always loved the Spurs."
From then on,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/][b]duvetica canada[/b][/url], Sanchez watched every game - relatives said she request her dinner in front of the TV, and refuse to even take a bathroom break. When she could no longer see the screen,[url=http://woolrichdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Online Shop[/b][/url], Sanchez granddaughter Michelle Perez bought her a big-screen TV.
"Then,[url=http://parajumpersoutletdanmark.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Jakke[/b][/url], as her eyesight declined, she would scoot all the way up to the TV screen and watch it like that,[url=http://duveticaonline.olimx.com/][b]Duvetica piumini italy online[/b][/url]," Perez said. "These days, she runs those nurses ragged asking them what the scores are."
Arlinda Vasquez, the activities manager at the home,[url=http://duveticasale.albirank.net/][b]Duvetica Kappa[/b][/url], plans monthly outings for residents. Families cover the participants food and a Gemini Ambulance Services vehicle totes the seniors around. For the Spurs game, residents held a bake sale and raised $300 to cover any extra costs.

"I like to bring the residents quality of life,[url=http://woolrichdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Jacket Shop[/b][/url]," Vasquez said. "Just because they in a nursing home doesn mean they can go out and have fun in the community"
A year-and-a-half ago, Sanchez moved out of Perez house and into the North Side home, where she watches games on a big-screen in the dining hall. Two weeks ago, Sanchez family was called to her bedside after doctors feared she might die. Upon recovering, Perez asked if she wanted to attend the game.
