A true wiener, if ever there was such a mythical beast ...

Nice ad! Luis Tiant! One of my old school favorites, thanks for sharing that.

Lieber said...

Tiant had one line in the ad. When the narrator asked if he could have a bite of the pitcher's hot dog, Tiant answered "No." Probably made $750.

Rest in Flushing, Soto

Speaking of deli meats -- King just gave up a grand salami to the Dodgers. He turned a 6-1 SD lead into 6-5

A nice tribute to a great pitcher.

And yeah, all kinds of guys banging today. Tatis, Jr.; Betts; the Polar Bear. Damn, too bad we don't have one of those big boppers!
