There's not really one. It was Matt's response to girls at the parade who were exposing bare skin.

"Paunchy, middle-aged white men," which may include Dan once his metabolism starts penalizing giant dinners after 10. Basically the gist of it was that there are fashion designers at Majestic who, with everything they create, are just waiting to monetize a line of apparel for managers that civilians could wear.

Slight tangent here, but "and what's the deal with managers wearing uniforms" is just hack-ass second-hand observational comedy. They wear uniforms because coaches and managers often participate in batting practice, and unlike other sports, base/bullpen/pitching coaches are often in the field of play. The only thing that would wind up looking dopier than a middle-aged guy in a baseball uniform would be a middle-aged guy walking on the field in a polo shirt and a pair of slacks. He'd look like the slowest, most bourgeois field-rusher.

And like I said, half the field managers wear dugout jackets or stupid activewear things anyway. So what is Dan even talking about?

There was nothing quite like seeing Sweet Lou jamming all that lard into his Cubs jersey.

I remember when Ditka signed his deal with Bigsby & Kruthers and wore those three-piece suits on the sideline. He looked as uncomfortable as a guy could be. They should have put him in baseball pants.

Mike in Milwaukee says "just take the Bears" ... so that's enough for me.

they're talking Sportsman's Park versus Arlington and the bad crowd at Sportsman.

Matty apparently worked both and served Fritzy on many occasions. He loves Fritzy. Or his money.

I'm guessing he was a barback. I don't remember any bartenders at any track that were under 40 years old.

apparently Fritzy's a very generous guy. Starts off by tipping $50 first go. Had lots of clients?

Fritzy made Chicago a Miller town.

He's the greatest beer salesman in the history of the world. He's the main reason that Miller was the macrobrew king in Chicago instead of Bud for about twenty-five years. Of course, now things are different with all the craft brews and MillerCoors and InBev making fake craft brews in an attempt to hang onto their market. Fritzy still knows a lot of people but his crowd is getting old. He probably just seems like a crazy old coot to some douchebag GM with an ASU undergrad in hospitality who is running a Bar Louie. Fritzy was a king on Rush Street in the 80s. He still swings a big stick in the Viagra Triangle, but times aren't the same. I think he has some title like Brand Ambassador for the Reyes distributorship, but his days are really past. He is to Miller what Mikita and Hull are to the Hawks.

what made him such a good salesman? What's his connection to Mike North, how did that begin?

Was Fritzy the guy that sold Reinsdorf on Miller over Bud for his ball park? Was he responsible for that deal?

Fritzy is a charming motherfucker. And he'll help a guy out. if you got in a conversation with him and were talking hockey, he might not even have to know you well at all and he might give you a couple of tickets. He's just a good guy. He's a long-time hustler and not afraid to work. Why wouldn't a guy make his beer the number one brand on the taps and at the top of the menu, just because he asked?

He and North are from the same neighborhood. I think they went to Senn together, though Fritz probably graduated. Fritzy used to own a liquor store called Pelly's at Clark and Pratt.

The Bears, Hawks and Bulls are Miller teams as well. So they got every team in the city except the Cubs.

Bernstein said the Bears were scheduled to visit Ronald Reagan the day the challenger blew up and so it was cancelled. Bears won the Super Bowl on January 26th. Challenger blew up on January 28th.

I doubt they had that scheduled so quick after the Super Bowl.
