Should this be in the jokes forum or groaners......
I'm guessing groaners.
Bottom of the ninth, score was tied, 2 outs, 2 strikes, 3 balls, bases loaded.
The countries sweetheart, Mel Famey was pitching.
Mel was pitching the last game of the season for the prize of winning the world series after a serious summer of excessing drinking.
His drinking had gotten so bad that his career was on the line. He tried time and time again to quit, but to no avail.
The pressure was proving to be too much. He snuck a few drinks during the game and it was beginning to show.
He threw what was sadly the last pitch of the game.
The ump yelled, Ball four!
He had lost the world series by one run.
After the stands had cleared, a couple players from the opposing team were walking across the field to their cars.
As they passed the pitchers mound, one looked down, pointed to a crushed can, and ask the other, What is that????
The other looked up and said....
That, was the beer that made Mel Famey walk us.
