I remember as a kid Chemical Bank was a Mets sponsor and I always thought, "what a weird name for a bank."

From Wikipedia:

The founders used the manufacturing company, which produced chemicals such as blue vitriol, alum, nitric acid, camphor and saltpeter, as well as medicines, paints, and dyes as a means to securing a bank charter from the New York State legislature. During the 1820s, prospective bankers found that they were more likely to be able to successfully secure a charter if the bank were part of a larger business. The following year, in April 1824, the company successfully amended its charter to allow Chemical to begin its banking practice. As a result, Chemical Bank was originally a division of the New York Chemical Manufacturing Company. Balthazar Melick was named the first president of the bank, which catered to merchants in New York City.

People should start naming their babies "Balthazar" again.

Mookie enjoyed that job. Lived in Murray hill and took either the 4 5 or 6 to wall st. Then would grab a baggie for the ride home.

Is one still allowed to buy singles in a deli and drink in public?

Doubt it.

I worked construction in the city one summer and we would ride home on the LIE in a pickup bed and drink the onesies we got in Manhattan. Just me and my 5 closest Puerto Rican friends. Cops would just wave. Better times than you'd think.

not sure the 'not shaking my hand' matters. one doesn't need to be congenial to an opponent. it is thoughtful and humane to do so, but not required.

The coonman tag on his yearbook pic was what caught me eye(like the blackface/kkk photo on the yearbook page prob there by "error"). The lack of civility for refusing to shake the man's hand just adds to the list.

This comment from the judge was particularly rich:

County District Judge Michael Gibbens said "the victims in this case, in particular, were more an aggressor than a participant in the criminal conduct".

I find it ludicrous that he not only said they were not victims, but but had to weigh whether or not they were aggressors or merely participants.
