Post subject:	Saturday in Wrigleyville
The low level famous were out in full force on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Here are my encounters: Former De Paul great Tom Kleinschmidt. I saw him at Bernie's before the game. He is a friend of a friend. I've met him before and he has always been a good guy. He plays basketball in Japan. I was suprised to learn the kind of money that can be made overseas. Also all expenses are included so every dollar you make is in the bank. If I were a fringe player there would be no way I'd play in the NBDL when that kind of life is available. MJH host Harry Teniowitz at Johnny O'Hagen's after the game. I had a table in the back room with my friends. I saw a guy in a Larry Bittner jersey walk in. I was wondering who would buy such an item. He turned around and guess who... I didn't go up and introduce myself as I was having a good time with my friends and he with his. I will give it to Harry, he does seem to have a stable of people who really like him. At the same time he appeared to have no airs of "stardom". In typical Hary form, he was ordering shots all around (for his friends). I left later that night. I forgot something at the table and had to run back in. As I was coming in old Harry himself came stumbling out. I did not bother to ask him how he was getting home.

I said that as a homage to last week's posts. I have no idea whether he drank heavily or not.

I was dropped off northwest of the stadium so by the time I would have gotten to Redmond's I would have had to leave (I hate missing the first pitch). I went to the most convenient bar for a quick one with the guy who came with me. After the game Wrigleyville was prick central. There were lots and lots of turned backwards hat wearers just looking for trouble. I knew a couple of people were going to O'Hagan's afterwards. I decided it would be best for a guy wearing a Sox jersey to go to a place that was a little less crowded. I thought some of the people in Harry's group might be board members. However, they seemed to like Harry so I knew that could not be correct.

We planned ahead on getting hammered so I didn't drive. He was starving & we got Chinese at some joint Harry picked - they forgot to give us utensils so we ate with our hands & got rice all over the cab & each other.(!)Sounds burrito, I know.

So Nos, you're a Score employee hanging with Harry. Interesting. So I guess Good Dolphin would be able to ID you.

Harry was happy that day. He had an odd grin on his face as he left the place. Maybe it was the anticipation of chinese food in the not to distant future.

For the record you can consider Redmond's a safe haven as a Sox fan, seeing as how it is run by one.

Nemo's and had me a sub. Did you meet up with Harry, because he did not leave the place with anyone. He was kind of mumbling to himself and smiling.

It's not red sauce rob. It's the Captain's Secret Sauce, shortened to SCC on the menu boards. I had a half Americanne and a cup of split pea. The sandwich was great as always. The soup tasted like they watered down the pot to make it last until the end of the day. It's probably the only time I've been disappointed with the Captain's soup.

Looks like we stomped the same grounds after the game. I had the turkey with provolone & thought that the soup wasn't thick or salty enough.

I have heard accounts that the Captain was a cheap bastard all the way back in the day at the Clark Avenue shop. It looks like he passed it along to his be-bop singing second generation.
