Comments:
Frank Edwin “Tug” McGraw, (1944-2004), was a major league pitcher and father of country singer Tim McGraw. In 1965 he joined the marine corps and became, in his words, “a trained killer”. This taught gave him confidence and discipline that positively affected his pitching career. Nonetheless, he was a cheerful character with a colorful personality, his motto “Ya gotta believe”. Of his salary, he once said “Ninety percent I'll spend on good times, women, and Irish Whiskey. The other ten percent I'll probably waste.”, failing to mention the “Beautiful Smoking Experience” of Grenadier cigars that he promotes here. He died on January 5, 2004.
