Free burgers? George Webb's marketing brilliance is something Brewers fans can sink their teeth into.
Yep, FBO. A free beef patty tucked inside a bun. You don't need Globe scribe Alex Speier's acclaimed 'BAFBD: Baseball Acronyms For Boomer Dummies' to figure that out. Who doesn't know a free burger when they see it? As obvious as one of those savory eephus pitches Bill Lee sometimes served up on a platter. Advertisement For only the third time in Milwaukee's MLB history, a local restaurant chain, George Webb, is handing out the free eats because of the winning streak — a pact old George himself, the restaurant's founder, made with his guests some 80 years ago when the Brewers were still a minor league club (American Association). Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Now, because all roads lead into and out of Boston, we need to mention that Milwaukee remained in baseball's bush leagues until one of our own, Ashland-born Lou Perini, picked up his Boston Braves from a field at the edge of what today is Boston University's West Campus and hurried them off to Milwaukee in 1953. The inaugural big league Milwaukee Braves, paced by Warren Spahn (23-7), went 92-62 (second in the National League), and in the following season called up 20-year-old rookie slugger Henry Aaron. Advertisement Boston never had a shot at the FBO and lost out on Hammerin' Hank. Apologies if that reminder, with attendant lingering heartburn, comes way too soon. In 13 years, the Milwaukee Braves never attained FBO status, ultimately moving burgerless to Atlanta after the 1965 season. It took the short-lived expansionist Seattle Pilots to be sold after a year in the Northwest for MLB to return to Milwaukee as the American League's Brewers for the start of the 1970 season. Through all the comings and goings, the sales and franchise shifts, the move from NL to AL back to NL, the George Webb offer remained in place: free burgers any time the local ballclub rattled off 12 consecutive wins. It now has happened only three times, first in 1987 and then again in 2018. Webb died in 1957, the fourth year of the Braves franchise (and Aaron's lone MVP season, by the way). Per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Jim Webb, one of his sons, owned and operated the 24/7 diner biz before selling it in 1985 and the current owner, Philip Anderson, took over in 2005. Through the 1940s, '50s, '60s, '70s, and into the '80s, neither the Braves nor the Brewers won enough to trigger the FBO, but the family name and the burger buzz has endured. That is some impressive legacy. In the interest of not getting hauled by the SABR intelligentsia, Webb's initial promo called for the local team to win 17 games, the figure rolling back to a dozen as one winning stretch after another fell short. If nothing else, it is a testament to simple, effective, enduring sports marketing. Madison Avenue should be blessed with such smarts. Advertisement George Webb, with the help of his wife and kids, opened up a lone dining location in 1948, counter and all, and built a business that once totaled 40 locations. He also came up with the quaint burger promo that in the day might have had World War II vets, sipping his coffee at the counter and puffing on Camels and Kents, thinking, 'Whaddya suppose Georgie's smoking?' Now, decades since Webb's death, and 40 years since his family sold the biz, he has Wisconsin (population: approximately 6 million) lauding his name and talking burgers, baseball, and Brewers — oh, my. In 1987, the chain handed out slightly more than 186,000 free burgers. Then, when the Brewers reached No. 12 with a win over the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLCS in 2018, another 90,000 freebies headed out the door, along with vouchers for an added 100,000. No one was left asking, 'Where's the beef?' Many around Milwaukee and the rest of the state may not remember Spahn or Aaron, but they sure know Webb. For better than a half-century, we've watched corporate America fork out billions upon billions, slap its names on sports arenas and stadia, to build brand recognition in North America and around the world. Right here in the Hub of the Universe, we have TD Garden (the short-lived Shawmut Center, then Fleet) and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough (once home to Schaefer (beer) Stadium. Every spare inch of the Garden, Gillette, and Fenway Park has been turned into ad space … all for the purpose of catching eyeballs and building brand recognition, companies eager to be identified, say, as the official toe fungus remedy or doggy daycare provider of the Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics or Patriots. The clutter is maddening and, for the most part, renders the campaigns ineffective and pointless. Advertisement No one's chattering about those brands this morning like Wisconsin is talking up free burgers and George Webb, the man in the late '40s who mixed marketing genius into the batter that had him putting cakes on his griddle. Y'know, sometimes life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle. Kevin Paul Dupont can be reached at

Baffert Continues To Cultivate Talent At Del Mar
How does a coach continuously produce winners? Is it luck, hard work, talent levels in the ranks, execution of the gameplan, or a combination of the previously listed? Most familiar with competition understand it is usually some of all of the above. For one Thoroughbred trainer it has been all of the aforementioned plus a great garden spot that has been excellent for cultivating young horses. Bob Baffert has long been considered one of the best in the Thoroughbred racing game. Rightfully so we must add as he has had more horses cross the finish line first in the world's most famous race (7), the Kentucky Derby, trained more Preakness winners than anyone (8), has three wins in the Belmont Stakes, and has conditioned nineteen Breeders' Cup race winners. For good measure, 'Big Race Bob' also has more Grade 1 race wins (the highest level of competition) than any trainer in the game. How has this Arizona native remained at the pinnacle of the sport since beginning his Thoroughbred conditioning career in 1991? It all begins with developing his younger talent where the surf meets the turf down at old Del Mar. Nestled just north of San Diego, this piece of Thoroughbred racing heaven has been a prime location for the Baffert barn over the years. 'There are lots of things that make Del Mar a great place for our young horses', says Baffert, who has conditioned two Triple Crown winners (American Pharoah 2015, Justify 2018). 'The weather is always good and there is very little rain which is very important. You don't miss training time and that can be a big key in development. The track is always in great shape, the atmosphere is good, and it's just a great environment to be in.' Success has been synonymous with this Hall of Fame conditioner at the Seaside Oval as he has far more Stakes wins (177) at Del Mar than any other trainer. Among those are an incredible nineteen wins in the Del Mar Futurity and eleven in the Best Pal Stakes, two of the biggest races for two-year-old males at the track founded by Bing Crosby in 1937. 'Our program puts a lot of emphasis on developing young horses', says Baffert. 'We believe in doing it the right way. Some come around quicker than others. Each horse has to be handled a little differently because like any athlete, some develop quicker mentally and physically than others. Being patient is very important with all of them. Authentic is a good example of a horse we didn't run at Del Mar in the summer of his two-year-old year because he just was not ready. At three he won the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup Classic.' Developing young talent with works and races at Del Mar every summer has long been a staple of his team's success throughout the last three plus decades. Even though he is the man with the lineup card and pencil, Baffert points to other components as mainstays for his team's success. 'I am very fortunate to have clients that want to run in and win stakes races', says Baffert. 'They give me the freedom to pick the horses we purchase and buying the right horses is where it all begins. Our goal is always to run in the biggest races across the entire country and go in with a real chance to win. Having great people around me and backing me is most important. And it also is fantastic to get those young horses going at a great place like Del Mar.' The Bob Baffert barn will send two runners to post in the grade 3 Best Pal Stakes on Saturday, August 9. St. Petersburg will break from gate 3 and Desert Gate breaks from the 5 hole in the six furlong race over the Del Mar dirt.
