Out and about
Alex Rodriguez and his siblings dined Friday at Davio's (111 S. 17th), where A-Roid, er A-Rod was in human form, not that of a centaur, which US Weekly, quoting an ex-lover, reports he has framed portraits of above his bed. Anyway, A-Rod was happy to sign a few autographs. Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and a group of family members went for steaks later that night. Pitcher Andy Pettitte and wife Laura had a quiet dinner at Davio's, where Reggie Jackson later had chardonnay with his scallops.
Phillies ace Cliff Lee and wife Kristen, sporting a nice Rolex, took their kids to celebrate Halloween Saturday afternoon at the AKA Rittenhouse, where Lee chatted with a few fans.
Pat Burrell and some buddies hung around Rittenhouse Square Saturday afternoon before he attended Game 3.
Mike Schmidt graciously chatted with the endless parade of fans who approached him Friday night at an MLB party at the Comcast Center. Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. appropriately dressed in a red Phillies tie, also made the rounds with girlfriend Kate Wilhelm of the Fairmount Park Conservancy. Broadcaster Tom McCarthy was also in attendance at the gala event catered by Table 31. The restaurant, in the Comcast Center, was closed to diners.
Fans yelled their "Hey ya's" to Outkast rapper Andre 3000, who managed to stay dry Saturday night at the game.
Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt and boyfriend, Upper Darby native actor Jamie Kennedy, took in Game 4 after dinner at Buddakan (325 Chestnut), where they stopped after attending the Eagles/Giants game. Love Hewitt got a hug from the Phillie Phanatic in May while attending her first Phils game.
