Bar-fights Quote by Chad Harbach
““Why would anyone want to fight Henry?" Loondorf looked hurt. "Because he's a ballplayer." "So?" "So he's a baller. He's got cash, chains, crisp clothes. He's got a hat that says Yankees and it's the real deal, yo. He didn't buy it at no yard sale. He walks into a bar and girls are like damn . Dudes get jealous. They want to get in his face, prove they're somebody." "They want to take down the man," Steve said helpfully.””
