Pineapple Sam’s unexpected adventure began in a posh hotel in Chicago, where he was greeted by random guests having casual conversations in the lobby near the Grand Ballroom. The little commotion that greeted Sam’s arrival turned out to be due to a baseball card show going on in town. It was 1984 and the generation was busy with MTV, Kenny Rogers, Ghost Busters, The Karate Kid and the first Apple Macintosh. Like everyone else at the time, Sam simply wanted to get on with his business trip while he had some fun. Sam found himself in the midst of baseball collectors, spectators, and a collectible sports magnate, Mr. IT Mas. It was the first time he had seen the great man, although he had heard of him several times before. So he tried it, turned to look, and allowed himself to enjoy the spectacle for a while. He did this while he was hoping to fulfill his business that he placed him on that trip. He also dined at one of Chicago’s most elegant restaurants: Ditka’s. Everything was smooth sailing until Pineapple Sam’s life was turned upside down. Mishaps were everywhere and he was caught up in a web of conflict. What started out as a casual dinner reservation at the popular Ditka’s restaurant turned out to be a disaster. From simply watching a baseball convention to getting into a limousine, Pineapple Sam found himself fighting for his own life.
