Ralph Kiner, the Hall-of-Fame player and broadcaster would every so often tell the story of Stan Musial and the restaurant business. The restaurant Musial came to own and inhabit as a greeter is mentioned in the obituary, but there is no allusion to how hard it can be to succeed in that business.
Kiner related how Musial, in what had to be the most friendly-fashion, with no hint of anger, would tell anyone who was interested, that he knew how to make a $1 million. Since, when he revealed the method a $1 million was really a sizable amount, Stan would have people's attention. The advice is short and sweet:
"First, you start with $2 million. Then you open a restaurant."
