Jacques Demers owned a place near me. Group of friends went over for the happy hour. Cheap beer and quarter hot dogs.

The beer was ok..I skipped the dogs.

    Stan Musial & Biggie's; standard steak/seafood place, but Musial was actually there most nights and would stop by every table at some point.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    One time when I was in Arlington, TX, for a Rangers game back in the early 1990s, I stopped at Bobby Valentine's for lunch.

    Another time when I was back home in San Diego, CA, I stopped at Junior Seau's restaurant.

    Both were pretty good.

    Ate at Mike Shannon's place, when I was at the National Sports Card Convention in St. Louis.

    Hit Majerele's Sports Grill several times when catching a game downtown and not an athlete, but Cooperstown by the Dbacks ballpark was Alice Cooper's baseball resaurant.

    Coop is sort of an athlete. Caught his show in Tucson when it was 108 at sunset. No 70 year old mortal could perform like that.

    I had one lunch a Jack Dempsey’s in New York City, shortly before it closed in the early 1970s.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    He did enough commercials for them, I always viewed him as part of the Dbacks.

    Blaze pizza. Once a week.

    Lebron is part owner. Bought in near the beginning, and has made another fortune.

    Baltimore Colts linebacker, Geno Marchettee (sp), had a chain of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in the 1960s. They seemed to be popular, but disappeared in the early 1970s.

    I remember my parents took me to Dempsey's restaurant; I was only 10 and didn't even know who he was. He was there though, walked around to all the tables, meeting the guests.
