OT - the way it was

[Mark Padgett]

One of the jobs I had as a kid was parking cars at a steak house. The restaurant was actually owned by the mob, but that's another story. Anyway, one of its best customers was Lou Boudreau. Lou was a former MLB player and manager of the Cubs. He'd come in for dinner once or twice a week and I parked his car most of the times he came there. He wasn't a very big tipper and it might have been because he knew I was a White Sox fan.
