Chapter 24: Sports

Frank_24.jpg
Release Date: Spring 2006

Frank Book Chapter 24 does not include an article on the Chicago Bulls dynasty of the '90s. There is no interview with Derek Jeter or Sammy Sosa, and if you're looking for a listing of the top NHL goal scorers of the past twenty years, look elsewhere.

Chapter 24 takes a Frank look at the other side of sports—the underdogs, the scandals, the characters, the men behind the men. Featuring an illustrated history of recreational drug abuse in sports, an intimate conversation with Planet Lovetron's own Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins, and a trading-card faceoff between legendary NYC Street Photographer Ricky Powell and Guest Curator Chris Isenberg (No Mas), Chapter 24 is brimming with content that will delight even the most die-hard sports fan.

Where the Dodgers Dined

Words: Chris Isenberg & Bud Schmeling
Photos: Mathew Modine & Bamonte's

Since 1900, both working class locals and well-heeled epicures have been frequenting Bamonte’s, an iconic Italian bar and restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. These days celebrity diners include Jack Nicholson and Mike Piazza, but in the 40s and 50s Dem Bums were the ones turning heads in the joint.

Thumb blisters! Shattered egos! And golden joysticks! The race baiting rantings of a D-pad legend!
