Joe Maddon Offers To Buy A Beer And A Shot For Everyone At Cubby Bear
(CBS) Joe Maddon sure knows how to make a good first impression.
After being introduced as the Cubs' new manager on Monday afternoon at the Cubby Bear -- a large bar kitty corner from Wrigley Field, which didn't have the space to hold the press conference while it's under construction -- Maddon stepped away from the microphone, then turned back to make a generous offer for everyone in attendance.
A beer and a shot was on him.

"Where's the bartender?" Maddon said. "Bartender? Barkeep, anywhere? I got the drinks right now. What do I got? Theo (Epstein) said I got one round. No actually, I had thought about that. One round on me, please.
"That's a shot and a beer. That's the Hazelton way. Shot and a beer."
Hazelton was a reference to Maddon's hometown in Pennsylvania.
