You know, obviously Naperville is where we're well-versed.
I live there.
It's a little different than Chicago.
But he just loves the vibe of the city, connecting with fans and the bleachers.
I'll tell you, it has been so entertaining to,
seeing Dodgers fans twist themselves into a pretzel the last couple of days over that quote.
I knew when Pete said it, I was like, oh, this is going to rile some people up.
But really, like, I didn't think it would become what it has in part because the quote was more about how much he loves Chicago than it was a shot at L.A.
I mean, yeah, with a little knock on L.A., which is fine.

You know, when I went to Chicago Mag and kind of pitched this idea, I think P is a fascinating character, you know, that there's sort of this persona on the field and the person he is off the field and kind of the tension between them.
And I'm so grateful.
I mean, I love to do these stories.
