Many years ago there was a famous baseball pitcher named Milt Famey. His
career was brilliant, but in his last years his abilities decreased.
Becoming depressed, he started drinking a lot of beer, both on and off the
field.
In his last year in the major leagues, he was drunk in the dugout most of
the time, but his team made it to the World Series. Milt had not pitched
throughout the entire series, but in the last half of the 9th inning of the
final game, the score was tied, Milt's team was on the field, there were 2
outs, and the bases were loaded. His teammates called out, "Bring on Milt
Famey! He'll save the game for us!"
Milt staggered out of the dugout amongst all the beer cans, stumbled to the
mound, and pitched four balls, walking the winning run across. As the
opposing team was passing by Milt's team's dugout, one of the players said,
"Hey, what's with all the beer cans in their dugout?"
His teammate replied, "Didn't you know? That's the beer that made Milt Famey
walk us!
