KISS is famous for makeup and over the top rock shows (along with good songs) and the Cubs are famous for goats, Wrigley Field, WGN and Harry Caray (along with some great players)....they're both famous for things outside of making good music or winning the World Series. Even though they both have each of the latter and have their fair shares of success. They both have achieved popularity for their images. They both have some faithful fans. People with no interest in rock and roll and baseball know who each are based on their image...I don't know, am I way off base here?
My main point was that Lou Piniella looks like he could spit up blood when he's yelling at umpires like Gene Simmons does during shows.
