Joe Maddon kicked off his tenure as new manager of the Chicago Cubs with a generous offer to buy a round of drinks for the members of the media attending his introductory press conference Monday.
"Where's the bartender? Bartender here? Barkeep anywhere? I got the drinks right now. Okay? I got - what do I got?...Theo (Epstein) says I got one round. No, actually, I've thought about that, so one round's on me, please."Maddon made it clear that he wasn't messing around:
"That's a shot AND a beer. That's the Hazelton way. Shot and a beer."Chicago's gonna love this guy.
