That kid did more roids than Bonds, Sosa and McGuire put together. He left 9th grade at about 5'11 160. He went to private school for a year and came back his Junior year 6'2 and close to 250 pounds. By the end of his senior year he was probably close to 300. His forehead stood out like a caveman and he had shin problems. Hmmm.....

He now manages his dad's restaurant.

Another story. Geraldo was denied membership in the local country club supposedly because he came from the entertainment industry but his wife at the time got in using her maiden name. It was nothing like Rivera if you know what I mean.

That whole area is crazy right now. My brother bought an huge old home right near the ferry in HIghlands. It's like one of those old 6 bedroom 3 story houses with the wrap-around porch for like $400K a few years ag. It needed some work, but he could probably sell it now for over a million. It's literally 300 yards from where the Wall Streeters get off the ferry. It's crazy. Same thing is happing in Union Beach too right?
