I always wondered if Tommy D was whacked not for Batts but for the kid that bar tended at the card games. That story was true and apparently the kids father was someone who could get the right ear for a request of retribution .
In the movie, the guy's name was spider, play by Michael Imperioli but I do not know what his real name was or who his father or Uncle was. Interesting though.
"Spider"'s sister and Henry Hill had quite an interesting tete-a-tete on Howard Stern once.
