    He also has a “Truckin'” pin (under the left lapel), a ticket stub from 7/19/89 in his wallet, a “Cosmic Charlie” campaign sticker, and, a leftover from a “kind veggie burrito” in the right chest pocket (he doesn’t know it’s there!).

      Oh, yes – underneath, he is wearing a pre-release Brewers tee from the August 9 game.
