South Side Hit Men Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Quote Lichtenstein grew up in Rogers Park and went to what then was called Lane Tech It is still called Lane Tech by most everyone alive today. Wonder where this writer and or editor are from. The HS was named after Albert Grannis Lane, a CPS Superintendent in the 1890s. It opened as Albert Grannis Lane Manual Training High School. In 1934, it was renamed Albert Grannis Lane Technical High School In 2004, it was renamed Albert Grannis Lane Technical College Prep High School.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 This is a good story of a baseball lifer. He worked for the Rays for 18 years for those who wanted us to poach more coaches from that system. Pretty cool how he ended up in the movie "The Babe" as pitcher Charlie Root on the mound as The Babe ( John Goodman) points his bat towards the Wrigley Field bleachers in the 1932 World Series for the infamous called shot HR. EX UIC pitcher now the pitching coach at AAA Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
