THE CURSE OF SOLLOZZO
New revelations from sources not far from the New York Met but not all that close, either, reveal that in fact the team has been cursed by maverick opium importer, Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo. The Turk, who is known to be very good with a knife, reportedly wants control over "all those umpires Steve Cohen carries around in his pocket like so many nickels and dimes."
New development...Mr. Sollozzo, alleged curse holder over the New York Mets has reportedly been shot dead in a Bronx restaurant, along with an unnamed precinct captain who is known to be a dishonest cop, a crooked cop who got mixed up in the rackets.
No news yet on the gunman, who was reported fleeing from the restaurant in a pair of bright, sparkling red, "kinky" boots.
CURSES, HOSS !
ReplyDeleteFor what its worth – I believe that locating an official Mets Team Store inside the Ravenite Social Club on Mulberry Street probably didn't help matters much.
Here's a tip for out-of-towners visiting the Big Apple. When eating in an Italian restaurant, especially in Brooklyn or on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, never request a table by the window.
