... it and wiped his grimy hands on the linen tablecloth, leaving the remainder of the slice for someone else to eat — which indeed happened," our spy continued. Ha. Back in the days when I covered the Giants and Athletics, I witnessed similar things; although the finger-in-the-ice-cream is a new one. It is still my firm belief that the only reason some people enter journalism is to get access to free food. But I'm not mentioning any names, Ron Borges.
