Great all-star father-son moment

My dad went to East Tennessee State in the late 70s, and was there when a guy named Atlee Hammaker pitched. Dad said he was the most dominant pitcher he’d ever seen, and he rode that all the way to an All-Star game appearance in 1983, where he proceeded to suck to the tune of 7 ER in 0.2 ER. He was never the same…

I don’t know if you’d get it all the way up around STL, but it’s a marinade out of Birmingham, and it is dy-no-mite. You may want the low sodium version though, if you have an acute salt taste

No salt problem

I usually use a half soy-sauce, half teriyaki mix with minced yellow onion, garlic, ginger.

Didn’t have teriyaki or ginger tonight, so I substituted some cheap irish whiskey (for kicks) and the juice from a few apricots. It’s not bad.
