Ol' Homer took a gander at the blowup of the baseball photo and low and behold, there sits Uncle Willie to the viewer's left of the four lovely cheerleaders. Willie is sitting there with his boater tilted a little to the left and his bowtie hanging on his neck. Willie was only 43 when the photo was taken; but, he was known as the Charlie Sheen of Hackensack a century and change ago and had just spent 4 long nights with the cheerleaders.
After the photo was taken, they wheeled Willie up to the old Hackensack Hospital, and after 10 days of IV's and some occupational therapy he was back ringing his bell on the Hudson Street trolley. Some people say that on cold winters nights you can still hear Willie ringing his bell on Hudson Street.
