After watching Inge’s performance last night we tacked on the following rule:

“Finish your drink if a player hits 0 home runs in a round.”

I would propose that this rule be added to the permanent rules list.

This was the first time since 2005 that someone hit 0 so it’s not too common to be a problem. It also has happened several times so that there’s a realistic chance the rule might come into play on occasion.

Too bad I don’t have ESPN. Here’s a couple (though it’s too late to drink to them, as I saw on MLB.com that Sideburn Boy didn’t make it out of the first round:

Drink when they mention that Joe Mauer is a batting champion…who doesn’t hit many home runs.

Drink if they mention he’s a kid playing for his hometown team.

You’ll be able to get hammered when they play the ASG here in a few years…if he’s still at Twin.

[...] The rules, which hinge mostly on Chris Berman’s play-by-play stylings, are added to and conformed each year to the city/ballpark that’s hosting the event. The event for the Ashbrook Men’s Club is made even deadlier due to the fact that we continue to fuse our favorite rules from previous years to the current year’s rules making the potential for a 911 call all the more real. My brother will probably just text them though. [...]
