The American Dream

Lemonade, Lemonade, Lemonade.....Whoooooo!

If you live in Kansas City, you know that call. It is the call the lemonade guy at Royals Stadium used to call out through the game. One Mexican guy, one simple call, known by everybody in K.C.. the crowd yells along with him, people who never drink lemonade buy lemonade, it is a great thing

I read that two years ago this guy made $36,000 selling lemonade. Now the Royals have decided that they don't want to pay him what he thinks he is worth, so now he works for the T-Bones, Kansas City's minor league baseball team.

How great is that, the guy comes to the US from Mexico, makes a name for himself, and when his employer won't pay him what he thinks the market will pay him, he moves on. It sounds silly, but that is the American dream. Lemonade, Lemonade, Lemonade.
