Sweet Lou Did Not Tell the Googles It Was Okay to Put Him on a Map

It's not often that you find a real person on Google Maps. I've seen my dad's car on Google Earth before, but even that was relatively sketchy. However this find by Ben Maller (via SBB) is most certainly Lou Piniella and he is most certainly strolling through downtown Chicago.
The Cubs manager can be seen walking if you type in the address 3552 N. Clark, Chicago IL 600636, click street view and spin the camera around 180 degrees.
And for some reason, I find this really awesome. Maybe it's the teed off look on his face (you know he's angry, or at least faking it). Or perhaps it's the fact that he's in the middle of a street, crossing from one side that has a bar and a restaurant to the other side that has a restaurant with a bar; as circumstantial as that is, it still makes me laugh.

Or maybe it's just the fact that I feel like we are guaranteed at least either a temper tantrum or a Cubs' fan freakout resulting from this, as soon as that mid June major injury or losing skid happens.
