Sloppy Joe
Justin, excellent photo from 1931, I had never seen it, Sloppy Joe, for many years it was visited by famous players, since McGraw saw him for the first time in 1911, and the owner of the place, the Spanish José Abeal, and MacGraw became good friends, but José always got his long-sleeved shirt dirty and I called him dirty Joe, and he also called him muddy Joe, and Jose decided to name the restaurant that, McGraw every year came to Cuba with his wife and visited the place. The Sloppy Joe was closed for several decades, but a few years ago they did a great renovation including the giant bar of the bar and it was wonderful, about 4 or 5 years ago I was visiting the place and I felt good remembering the anecdotes of that place.
