Maybe you wondered why a restaurant in Nashville hung a picture of Leonard? Beats me, but don't think it would have anything to do with him pitching the Red Sox to a win in game four of the 1916 World Series against...the Brooklyn Robins! He also became a millionaire after his playing days by going into the wine and fruit growing business in California.

Now that is an interesting coincidence about pitching against the Brooklyn Robins and the picture was hanging in a Red Robin restaurant. By the way Red Robin has some very good burgers.

I actually did know about his success after his playing days. I just got finished listening to an audiobook for a second time about Ty Cobb called A Terrible Beauty. Dutch Leonard had a couple of confrontations with Cobb over the years. This is a tremendous book trying to set the record straight about how Ty Cobb was not as much of a monster as people make him out to be.

Right, I've heard that about Red Robin, but unfortunately for me, no franchises in my area. Also have heard about the Leonard and Cobb animosity. I may check out that audiobook, since my eyes don't let me read much anymore. Thanks.

I highly recommend it. If you listen to it I would be interested to know what you think. Cobb has become my favorite older player. I find him fascinating. I just wish I could afford some of his cards.
