Beer and baseball go together like lamb and tuna fish. Or maybe spaghetti and meatballs if you prefer. If you’re at the game or watching from home, chances are you’re cracking open a cold one. For Chicago Cubs fans, It might be an Old Style or a Bud, or it could be the latest from Goose Island or Dogfish Head.
Funny thing is, it’s not just fans who enjoy their brewskies – players have always been tied to frothy beverages just as much as they have to throwing bbs or hitting bombs. Whether it’s Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, or the infamous rally beers from Jon Lester, John Lackey and Josh Beckett in the 2011 Boston Red Sox clubhouse (pssst- they won a ring two years following that fiasco).
