Sorry. Didn't know.

Just read his Wikipedia entry. Seems like Ilitch was an outstanding person who loved Detroit, his hometown, and tried hard to do good for it.

Also owned the Red Wings. Surprised to find out he was a minor league infielder in the early 1950s, not typical of the owner class.

Interesting factoid hidden in the entry: Paid Rosa Parks' rent from 1994-2005 so that she didn't have to live in a dangerous neighborhood.

Little Caesar's, but was of Macedonian descent on both sides. Alexander the Great!
