During the young guns days I used to frequent the recently opened "New" Spolumbo's on ninth. I would go later to avoid the crowds and there were usually a few random Sports celebs and if the Flames were in town one or two would be there. One Day a player who I knew invited me over to have lunch with he crew which consisted of ( I think) Clark Wilm, Jason Weimer, and my fav Fast Freddie Brathwaite as well as my friend. Freddie Brathwaite is tough to mistake as he only stands 5'7" and is bald...
So I am talking to Freddie who was recently injured and asked if he was feeling good, he said yes, I asked if he was playing that night and he gave me a quizzical look and said no.
Then Freddie came and sat down and joined us. I was talking to his twin like BROTHER the whole time. I apologized enjoyed my Spolumbo's Special and my friend never had me over for another lunch date with the Flames again.
