Video: We're pretty sure that's THE Paul Molitor participating in the "Cheesehead Orchestra"

Well well.

Colleague Bill W. passes along this video of the "Cheesehead Orchestra." While it would be moderately notable on its own as 90 seconds of Wisconsin-ness that a person just can't make up, we are particularly intrigued by the orchestra introductions that start at the 45-second mark. The "left flute" player is introduced as Paul Molitor, and we have every reason to believe it is indeed the same Molitor who is a noted One Of Us and MLB Hall of Famer. We have no official confirmation, but it looks like him and sounds like him. And this Facebook post from Rybicki Cheese from a few days ago offers further circumstantial evidence. In any event, have a look-see:
