Al Schacht

Alexander Schacht (November 11, 1892 – July 14, 1984) was an American professional baseball player, coach, clown, and, later, restaurateur.

Ironically, at the height of their collaboration, Schacht and Altrock developed a deep personal animosity and stopped speaking to each other off the field.

During their famous comic re-enactments of the Dempsey–Tunney championship boxing match, many speculated that they pulled no punches as they rained blows on each other.

His eponymous steakhouse at 102 E. 52nd Street (at Park Avenue) in Manhattan was popular for decades, catering to a clientele of sports stars and stage and screen celebrities.

The menus at Al Schacht's were round, fashioned as oversized baseballs, and featured dishes named after old-time players.
