You don’t want people drinking and driving. You don’t mind a guy having a beer, but when you are home you are going to get in a car and drive home. I think it’s a pretty good policy."<br /><br />***<br /><br />If that is the case, shouldn't they ban beer from all ballparks? It's much more likely a fan will have too many and drive home drunk than a player.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-80906591537640510522012-02-27T14:19:01.323-08:002012-02-27T14:19:01.323-08:00Catus to announce retirement Thursday.
