Heart of the City by Steenz for September 30, 2000
Transcript:
Mrs. Angelini: "I was short and skinny for nine years old, but I could play skull box or halfball as good as any of the boys." "In fact, I was the only kid who could tame Gaetano DiLuca's fastball, which won me the respect of the boys...and the envy of the girls." "See, Gaetano Diluca was the heart throb of the block, and all the girls were in love with him, especially Angela Scaramuzzi..." "But to me, he was a pal, and to him, I was just one of the guys." Heart: And where was Mr. Angelini while you were gallivanting with this DiLuca character?! Mrs. Angelini: What, do you work for the daily news? I did have a life before Mr. A, ya know!
