Carmine was so good, so wildly popular, that he did a very cool television commercial for Schaefer beer: “Come into the Schaefer Circle,” said The Red Man. I remember one night at Yonkers, Carmine happened to have drives behind two Australian pacers in the daily double. Both paid in the 6-1 range, and a daily double return of close to $100. Another evening at Roosevelt, The Red Man drove Soky’s Atom to victory in the George Morton Levy. I’d invariably return to campus with a wad of cash, most times thanks to The Red Man.
