Pudge’s Legacy Goes to the Dogs

In 1975 he hit the greatest home run in team, perhaps league history, and in 2008 he waited on dogs as part of an Alpo Dog Food promotion. From the Boston Globe:

Alpo is renting space for its pop-up restaurant for today and tomorrow at 167 Newbury St., where plans call for dog-lover Fisk to be a pooch garcon. (Fisk will be serving up dog food today only.)

Plans call for Fisk, who knows a thing or two about pitching, to pitch the Alpo line from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. today; the grill will be also open for those same hours tomorrow, though sans Fisk, Alpo said. After its two-day run, this temporary restaurant will close up shop.

Does Fisk need the money that bad? At least do it in Chicago, but to do it in Boston is just plain sad.
