There was a time - and it wasn't that long ago - that I really didn't like this guy, but ever since the British media started pissing on his campfire, the guy's come out swinging and hitting hard. Well played indeed, sir...

Dutch Shultz , prohibition beer baron,  met his demise in the Palace Chop House, 12 East Park St., Newark , N.J. The restaurant served as his headquarters. I always thought he was a Chicago guy, and I fuckin' grew up in Newark. I'm an idiot I guess.

  1. Well I'm afraid Joe D's adage about rich kids not making MLB is partially no longer true, especially for white boys. A lot of young white ballplayers come from well to do households. It costs a frickin' fortune sending them to those exclusive camps
