Milt’s, JBM founder gets special gift from Cubs Matt Szczur

Ed Sherman | October 24, 2016

szczurEven though Cubs reserve outfielder Matt Szczur didn’t make the roster, he is making his presence felt during the postseason.

Szczur now is spreading his gold luck charm to Jewish Baseball Museum founder Jeff Aeder. See what the gift he gave during a visit to Aeder’s restaurant, Milt’s Barbeque for the Perplexed, a kosher BBQ restaurant located near Wrigley Field.
