I'm honestly surprised it took them this long to make a Lou Gehrig day. My dad is a huge baseball fan and suffers from ALS, so he will appreciate this.

Boozy grapes are the key to getting poo poo-faced at the ballpark without spending a ton on beer. Just soak a bag of grapes overnight in the liquor of your choice (rum works very well) and they'll let you bring them into the ball park because they just look like normal grapes.

He was in the concourse, it bounced right off the concrete and into his beer.

I have some old clips of John Goodman messing around with the Braves in 1992 spring training, though I don't think he got an at-bat during a game. Goodman had just filmed The Babe.

My favorite fact about that movie is John Goodman had to lose 60 pounds to play Babe Ruth.

The best buffets in Vegas are at The Wynn and The Cosmopolitan. Planet Hollywood has a good one too because they kept it the same as when it was The Aladdin.

The extra innings rule is the equivalent of my beer league hockey games where the refs won't ever call icing if the game started at 10pm or later.

The window of when it's cool to wear a high school class ring is like 3 months of your senior year. I'm really not sure how they are still a thing but I guess it's just a weird tradition that parents are willing to shell out for.
