Some MLB Teams Extend Beer Sales Later into Games After Pitch Clock Rule Change

Going to a Major League Baseball game and enjoying a hot dog with an ice-cold beer is an American tradition.

However, with the implementation of a pitch clock and several other rules, major league games have become considerably shorter this season, giving fans less time to enjoy an adult beverage or two.

Several teams are combating that by extending alcohol sales into the eighth inning this season, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN). The Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers are among the teams to have extended alcohol sales beyond the seventh inning, which has been the typical cutoff point in years past.
