Al "Uncle Al" Decato


I got started in paintball in 1989 playing backyard games with some friends. After a couple of months we formed a team and called the Boneheads. We played a lot of tournaments around the tri-state area for a few years, had an indoor field and ran an outdoor field. In 1992, after seeing an article in a paintball magazine, we went to a field in PA.called Adventure World. It was there we met Blue for the first time. We loved Adventure World, but before we could get back there to play it again, it had closed. Then in 1995, we met Blue again at a World Cup game [we went to watch and Blue had a booth] he invited us back to what was now EMR Paintball Park. Mike offered us a bunkhouse if we fixed it up, so we did and became EMR's first home team. In 2003, Blue asked us to join Blues Crew; those of us lucky enough to have the time to commit did so. Thank you Blue, Sue, and Deuce and all those others who've made the Crew possible. I want to thank all our sponsors and the field owners for giving us the opportunity to showcase their products and fields, Thank you all!!.
