An old Schlitz joke -
It was the last game of the season and all the other relief pitchers had been used for a double header, and Mel Famey had driven to the park with his car full of cans of Schlitz. Truth be told, he was pretty nervous before the game, because he knew he would be called on in the late innings.

When he started to pitch in the 9th, he ended up loading the bases, and then walking in the winning run for the other team.

As the players from the winning team went out to the parking lot outside the stadium after the game, congratulating themselves over beating the Brave’s ace reliever, one of them noticed Mel’s car practically buried in empty beer cans.

One of them exclaimed, “Schlitz, the beer that made Mel Famey walk us!”

I was wondering if I was the only one who remembered that one.
