This is what ESPN though of Bobby V's: Although he now toils for the Chiba Lotte Marines of Japan's Pacific League, where he's considered the most successful foreigner ever to lead a Japanese team, Bobby Valentine's presence is still felt in Arlington, where he skippered the Texas Rangers from 1985 -1992.

One of two Bobby V's the other is in Valentine's hometown of Stamford, Conn. this neighborhood grill is absolutely plastered with memorabilia, and not just on the walls but the bar and tables, too.

Each table, including those within the elevated boxing ring in the center of the restaurant, is topped with old baseball cards, ticket stubs and game programs beneath a film of lamination.

The atmosphere is warm and cozy, the TVs are plentiful and the food is quite good. The Tex-Mex Bobby Bajita fajita plate, chili in a bread bowl, ostrich burger and fried pickles are all house specials, as are the wraps and with good reason.

In a truth-is-stranger-than-fiction baseballesque moment, in 1980, shortly after his playing career ended, Valentine opened his first restaurant in Stamford, Conn., and claims to have invented the now ubiquitous sandwich wrap that we find at lunch counters across the country.
