PrintAn interesting article from an unlikely source about the good old days of the American Association, also known as the Beer and Whiskey league. Among other things, it discusses how the Red Stockings were once kicked out of the National League for selling beer, and with a few other teams went on to form the American Association. it also covers a few ballplayers who might have even been able to drink Sir Sid under the table. I'll definitely remember this the next time I'm bitching about paying $7 for a Heineken at Oriole Park. Enjoy.

Anyway, good post.

Great freakin' article
Plenty of other good things on that site too, like the rules of drinking, and everything about andre the giant.
