Perhaps after another forty years of Carolina Barbecue, with both Steve and Joey working there, Saratoga can replace the Sea Hero statue with a statue of a large weenie commemorating all they have done for the game.

As a tribute to Paul Mellon, the Sea Hero statue is fine. It's the horse I never cared for... And if they are to erect a statue to me and The 'Cue, it would be of a Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich, which I consider my lasting contribution to the culinary offerings at the Spa.
(And as an FYI, Joey spent just a summer and a half working the Carolina mines. His career as a Cue-slinger is over.. While it may have shown flashes of brilliance, it was not a statue-earning tenure.)
