Squeezed by Life, a Barkeep Squeezes Back
Ernie has had only one aspiration in his 55 years of his living. He wanted his very own saloon. And except for a couple years (centuries?) working for the post office, running bars has been his life. He specializes in what he calls upper-low class cocktail lounges in Times Square and Hells Kitchen. His business philosophy is based on the premise that $2 is plenty to charge for a pint of beer. But he is not incapable of innovation: he installed an automatic teller machine at Rudys at 627 9th Avenue, one of the two 9th Avenue saloons he actively manages. The other joint aspires to be the first themed dive bar. Located at (tk), it is called Swine on Nine and features outlandish oil paintings of all manner of pig, from fearsome porkers breathing fire to sweet-smiling sows garlanded with roses. Favored customers, meaning females, get free pink piggy banks..

At the beginning of the week they were a tentative bunch, 65 salesmen, jewelers, doctors, businessmen, orthopedists, lawyers, accountants, restaurateurs, construction and computer executives, dentists, dermatologists and writers. Two were women who called themselves housewives, most were at or nearing middle age and all were wondering whether their decision to come south to play baseball had been wise. By weeks end they knew. Their uniforms, replicas of those worn by the Yankees, Giants, Dodgers and Cubs, were smudged with dirt, but they didnt care. The peaks of their caps had been curled to the right arch. The bridges of their noses were sunburned. They chewed bubble gum or tobacco incessantly. They spit a lot. They threw knuckleballs. Their talk was of how many hits they had made, how many catches, who had robbed whom with a great stab, and how if that ground ball hadnt taken a bad hop they would have got the guy at first. When they ran on and off the baseball diamond they gave each other open-palm, high-five congratulatory slaps.
