A sign near Section 116 at Comerica Park in Detroit shows how much the snacks and beverages cost.

.SOURCE.

There's NOTHING on that sign to indicate anything other than LEMONADE! (What about the CRANBERRY? It that an alcholic beverage also? Are the PEANUTS laced with Vodka...!!)

I'm an Australian. I can imagine falling into the same trap with the sign the way it is. 'Give me a lemonade...' (While thinking to myself, I know I'm being ripped off at $ 7 but the kid is thirsty...)

This entire story STINKS!

But it wasn't until the top of the ninth inning that a Comerica Park security guard noticed the bottle in young Leo's hand.

So it was this idiot that got the ball rolling.

Yes,and it was all of the other idiots that perpetuated this nightmare.

I’d like to know why the father wasn’t ID’d when he bought the lemonade. Perhaps that might have caused him to pause before giving it to his kid.

Also- when the kid was taken to the hospital and had blood drawn, the report said that there was no trace of alcohol in his system. Why didn’t the Dad get custody of him then??!!
