Cool Keith Hernandez article from 1999

(Update October 2018 – the links in the article no longer work)

I stumbled across this cool article from 1999 in which Keith Hernandez talks about the bar scene and his apartment.  Kinda fun!

In the living room, there was a special wine storage refrigerator. Lining the bookshelves were hundreds of hardcovers from the Easton Press Great Books collection. The room also had a 27-inch TV, with dozens of videocassettes stuffed in the console beneath it- I, Claudius , Lawrence of Arabia , The Princess Bride , The Crying Game , Easy Rider , King of Comedy . On the glass dining room table was a piece of notebook paper listing retired athletes (Wayne Gretzky, John McEnroe) whom Mr. Hernandez was considering for a celebrity golf tournament-which he may or may not put together later this summer. The apartment’s second bedroom had a Cross-Country Climber in the corner and a computer. On a shelf between two World Series trophies (St. Louis Cardinals, 1982, New York Mets, 1986) there was a complete set of the Encyclopaedia Britannica .

On his refrigerator were pictures of his three daughters; inside it was a carton of Tropicana orange juice, and that was about it.
