This man loved dogs! I appreciate the reports of people seeing Mays everywhere, carrying his poodle around. Sounds eerily familiar...

This is Fucking brilliant. I can't type for the tears. Thank you for remembering one of the two baseball greats -- Clemente being the other.

Loved this. Enraged at the racism, but love seeing that his poodle was with him. So great.

I love this story and the photos! So sad how they were treated and to see the pics as newlyweds only to find it didn’t last. How sweet is his love of poodles. ❤️

Agreed! Sport Dogs...hmmm...this is making me think of a potential spin-off - one that looks at the lives of famous pets and talks about their lesser known owners. You're welcome for this idea. Ha!
