CHICAGO — Former alderman Edwin Eisendrath said he owns plenty of jackets. So he didn’t think much about it when he left his green down jacket over a young man sleeping on the Blue Line train Friday. “He was sprawled across three uncomfortable seats, his jeans were ripped, shoes too big for his feet, and it was cold out,” Eisendrath said. “He was clearly in need, so I gave him my coat.”What Eisendrath didn’t know is he was being filmed as he made his way to O’Hare Airport for a wedding in Virginia.
