A while back, there was a story about Reuben Gonzales. He was in the final match of his first professional racquetball tournament. At match point in the fifth and final game, Gonzales made a super "kill shot" into the front corner. The referee called it good, and a linesman confirmed it was a winner.
After a moment's hesitation, however, Gonzales turned and declared that his shot had hit the floor first before skipping into the wall. As a result, the serve went to his opponent, who went on to win the match.
Gonzales walked off the court, leaving everyone stunned. The next issue of a leading racquetball magazine featured him on its cover. The editorial searched for an explanation for this unprecedented act in professional sports. Who could imagine a player, with victory in his grasp, disqualifying himself at match point?
When asked why he did it, Gonzales replied, "It was the only thing I could do to maintain my integrity."
