I was wondering what that was called, all I could think was "they issued them Maces?"

That was really cool. I'm guessing the sandals are for the shower

"Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win twenty in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win twenty in the show, however, it means you are a slob."

Anyone??!??

Bull Durham. Great movie despite having commies Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon.
