Tough to quit
I have to disagree when Bill Shaikin [May 6] writes that a baseball clubhouse beer ban “hints at hypocrisy.” It blares hypocrisy loud and clear.
When you’re at a game, the message is ... drink. Drink. Drink some more. When you watch a game on TV the message is ... drink. Drink. Drink some more. Then a tragedy happens and baseball is suddenly concerned about drinking while still raking in the money from beer advertising.
Anheuser-Busch spends more than a billion dollars a year on advertising. Baseball’s not going to rock that boat, no matter how many people die.
