Great stuff. go down about 40-50 rows on this one. the line with the world series ring from Minnesota. There is a mud wrestling picture with a guy and 1 girl in the ring with the other girl outside the ring. He wrestled the Gonzo Sisters in a mud wrestling bout once. What do you think. too bad he is all muddy. with a clean face it would be easy. https://www.google.com/search?q=ken+kaiser+images&safe=active&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiDzu2RntDVAhUDwYMKHR05BDcQsAQIJw&biw=1754&bih=937 And of course he was the plate umpire in the famous Weaver/Haller video. condolences to the family.
