Harlem Globetrotter ‘El Gato’ Melendez Visits The Q106.5 Studio [VIDEO]
Harlem Globetrotter Orlando "El Gato" Melendez visited the Q106.5 studios Thursday morning to talk about what fans can expect at their upcoming game in Bangor.
But first, the first-ever Puerto Rican Globetrotter told us about how he got his feline nickname. You can watch the video above to hear the story. Spoiler: it involves a ham sandwich.
The Globetrotters will appear at the Cross Insurance Center on Thursday, March 30. You can visit the box office for tickets,
On Friday morning, we gave away a VIP experience in which someone's child can be the team's "ball kid" for the evening. That winner is Tabbatha Osnoe of Danforth! Congratulations!
In the video below, "El Gato" describes what the VIP experience is like. It sounds like a lot of fun!
