This reminded me of a great anecdote I read from Tim McClelland on the MLB.com site a couple years ago. It's the second question from the bottom.

The image of Jack McKeon yelling and kicking dirt while carrying on a conversation about where to eat dinner is just something that stuck with me.

Wonder if the Trader had a lit stogie in his mouth at the time....
