Probably both, his "chatting with big hurt" show or whatever it's called is basically an infomercial for the supplements with five minute Big Hurt interviews in between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hear the theme song playing in my head every time I see someone wearing those Chicago City Connect jerseys. Matches the song perfectly.

He supplies the name and gets a percentage. It's generally how most of those work. Edited September 30, 2021 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Caray and Mike Ditka were always at their namesake restaurants. Neither had any money in it. Being there, supplying the name and mentioning the restaurant when on TV or the radio was their job for their cut. Restaurants run by people in the business who know what they are doing, usually fail. A restaurant with a ballplayer calling the shots has no chance.i really doubt Frank was making business decisions.

He was also involved in 2 restaurants in Vegas at one point. Was a partner in a project called The Meatball Spot and owned a food truck outside Harrah's Carnaval Court (think it was called Big Hurts Snack Bar or something like that).

I understand why they are doing it but to watch an MLB game in the atmosphere and environment was truly a great experience. Not to mention my wife and I went there on our honeymoon and met people and actually took turns hitting on the diamond even before the MLB park was there. Now I can sound really old for another reason, "I remember when this was just a ball diamond in the middle of nowhere." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
