Stosh'n


Just back from my native Wisconsin (and Milwaukee) for a friend's wedding and visits with friends and family. Returned with, among other things, a bean bag of Stosh, the famous racing sausage you might catch at a Brewers game. Stosh - the Polish sausage - became a favorite of mine largely because of his striped shirt, euro-shades and oh-so casually tilted cap.

Being of German extraction, my sister and I wonder, what's with the get-up? What makes this a Polish costume?

For those who care, Stosh proudly wears number 2, which he shares at Miller Park with Brewers super-rover Bill Hall.
