Rudy Santobello would wear white shoes, yellow slacks and a mint colored sports jacket on a snowy February night while holding court at Club Arthur. Ask some of the other Belmont guys (like Bruno and Charlie from over there) if I'm exaggerating in the slightest.

And then there were the summers, where he and Joe D would stroll their domain side by side. They looked like a mailbox in a bowling shirt and a neon South Beach Hotel in human form. God, I miss those guys .
