You're With All of Us, Leather

A bit of sports media folklore: in a Scottsdale bar, at some undefined time in the mid-90s, a man was hitting on a woman wearing leather pants.

The story was sent to our ball-loving brother Deadspin and has since become a favorite Deadspin non-sequitor catchphrase. Hell, they even made a t-shirt for it, wildly popular amongst all the men who still collect baseball cards. Everyone was happy.

But still Clooney continued his rude interruption.

They're 100% cotton, made by American Apparel, and we made our interns print the designs by hand over Thanksgiving. Just kidding—actually, we got a referral from Kathie Lee Gifford for a great sweatshop.
