Fun piece, Paul. You gotta’ love 1960’s newspaper advertising - Denis Menke’s and his wife’s heads appear to have been cut and pasted onto stock artwork grilling photos. Plus, I’m a little disappointed that Menke wasn’t sporting a chef’s hat, as Doug Rader did a few years later.
Good writing and good baseball stories make a great combination
I appreciate you being here, Michael.
As always, I love your writing, Paul, and of course, the baseball-adjacent stories are brilliant and entertaining!
I'm in 😀
Thanks, Martin! You obviously have excellent taste in poetry.
Roses are red, violets are purple, sugar is sweet, so is maple surple. Roger Miller; I can’t take credit.
Second-grade me is impressed!
Consider it a contribution to the search for the "Lost Manuscript".
Or your Beer fund :)

I bet that's not even his real wife! If you can't trust Kroger who can you trust...
Paul, I just can’t over that brontosaurus steak… must be from the Flintstones
I wonder if Kroc’s attitude was noticed by a certain someone who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave!?
At least he realized his goof in the end.
Did you get my link from Cooperstown on the yellow ball?
The Flintstones was exactly what came to mind for me!
