"Hey, Willie whatcha cookin'?"
"All-Star Stew, Basement Bertha."
"Smells delicious!"
"Oh yes. Got it almost perfect last year. Gonna be even better this year."
"What's the secret ingredient?"
"I'm just gonna let it simmer for 145 games and then leave it out."
"But Willie, don't most recipes call for 162 games?"
"Can't hear ya, Bertha, I'm over by the fridge pairing champagnes with my winning dish."
"Willie, don't ya wanna at least refrigerate your stew? Sounds like it could go bad if ya leave it out that long at the end."
"Mmm, the champagne's gonna taste sweet! Hey, Bertha, where ya goin'?"
"I think I'm gonna be sick."

Interesting how Bob Gibson makes the recipe but doesn't get an illustration.

Gallo was a Cardinals fan. Probably didn't want to take a high, hard one in case Gibby didn't like his caricature.
