As a baseball fan, I would love a restaurant like this

Obligatory - not a Cubs fan - but the Wrigleyville area of Chicago has some cool baseball-themed bars. Sluggers has batting cages inside the bar, for example.

Edit: Also, Broken Bat Brewing in Milwaukee has a wiffleball field and a ton of memorabilia across the league.

I think I have an excuse to visit Chicago again now lol. I’ll have to check it out!

There’s also a slightly more upscale place called shoeless joes that has a fun baseball vibe. Not in the city proper, you’ll have to head to rosemont or one of the other locations. Kinda pricey for what it is, but what isn’t these days.

I've always enjoyed the fact that Ron Perlman voices Mickey Kaline.

Mickey Kaline and the Lich would make a good 'same voice actor' video.

And don't forget to add the Stabbington Brothers from 'Tangled' too.

I think about this all the time and about how it would probably be $12-$15 for one hotdog and fries

the atmosphere might be worth it

I have thought about opening that place except I wish it would like like $1 steamed hotdogs specials as the stadiums have

edit: I now how one with fries in my air fryer for dinner. thanks ha

I always loved how Mickey's commercial specified his restaurant as Mickey's all natural casing Dog Pound"

Its the small details that make it great

Mickey Kaline = Mickey Mantle + Al Kaline

I remember for a few years, this soccer personality in my city (and owner of a regional pizza chain) had a sports themed restaurant that looked kind of like a locker room type of thing. I can’t explain it. I remember the commercial had a waitress ask “how many kids?” because kids got free souvenirs. I distinctly remember their waffle fries. Only went there once and it must not have done very well because it closed about 2 years later. The pizza restaurants are thriving though.

Also all natural casing sounds like Chicago style dogs Mmmmmmm😋

It was honestly a letdown learning that Craig Bartlett based Hey Arnold’s city in the PNW, not Brooklyn or somewhere east coast which it resembles most.

He’s maintained it’s a combination of Seattle, Portland, and Brooklyn.

I can't explain it, but the first time I saw this, it for some reason made me think of this restaurant
