CHICAGO -- Painted toenails, short shorts and tank tops highlight the theme of the Chicago Cubs' next road trip to South Florida as Miami-area-native first baseman Anthony Rizzo is the inspiration for Joe Maddon’s latest gimmick.
“Who wears short shorts? Anthony Rizzo wears short shorts” is the name of the trip, according to Maddon.
“I wore it in today,” Maddon said. “Extremely comfortable.”
Cubs players are required to wear their short shorts along with a tank top, and if they wear sandals they’ll need painted toenails.
“(First base coach Brandon) Hyde’s daughter was excited,” Maddon said.
