The real question is, where did he go to high school? And was he a West Sider or and East Sider?
(Those from Cincinnati will get the joke. Those who aren't, well...carry on)
I'm guessing he was from the West Side, btw. A lot of the Germans settled in the West Side. I remember playing ball against kids whose last names were so long they stretched from the left armpit to the right armpit on the backs of their jerseys
