Some bizarre backstory on Mr Rusetos from a 1913 Chicago paper, here:
https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/l...02/ed-2/seq-3/ Site's a bit slow to load, but the story's at the right on page 3 if you're patient. Fascinating content all through that obscure periodical, in fact...

I think it was a play on using Gehrig's name in Chicago without fear of any repercussions. and yes if you google the Rusetos name in Chicago they have a storied past well into the 1930's they were making headlines.

Don't forget that Eleanor Gehrig was from Chicago and her father I believe had a background in the concession business (just a thought)
