He thinks heâs in a sales convention dealing with a bunch of short-order cooks â Doug Rader and Ray Kroc
âHe thinks heâs in a sales convention dealing with a bunch of short-order cooks. Thatâs not the way to go about getting a winner. Somebody ought to sit him down and straighten him out.â â DOUG RADER, Astros third basemanâs comments concerning Ray Krocâs ownership style of the Padres. Padres president Buzzie Bavasi, inspired by disparaging postgame remarks about Ray Kroc, the teamâs owner and board chairman of McDonaldâs, made previously by Astro third baseman Doug Rader, stages a Short-Order Cooksâ Night promotion, which gives any fan wearing a chefâs hat free admission to the game. The Houston captain, who compared Krocâs management of the Friars to a sales convention of short-order cooks, joins in on the fun by wearing a chefâs hat and an apron and carrying a skillet and spatula when he brings the lineup card to home plate.
