A Florida Marlins batboy earned himself a six-game suspension from the team for accepting a dare to drink a gallon of milk in less than an hour without throwing up, according to a report in The Miami Herald.
The Herald says Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny (who was traded by the Marlins to L.A. last season) offered the unidentified boy $500 last Sunday if he could accomplish the task.
Penny reportedly said that the batboy drank the gallon of milk in the allotted time, but was not able to keep it down.

I could do it.
I got 500 says you cant. (pennies)
Thanks for your answer.
Nobody does something that dumb for NOTHING. I needed that 20 bucks. this kid needed that grand.
I thought "a grand" was $1000...
I can see disciplining the player but the batboy seems a bit harsh...
That's MLB for ya. Hell, for a thousand bucks, I might be persuaded to eat a Barry Bonds steroid turd.

Yo, batboy. Check it out. Next time this happens, all you have to do is say, "Golly. I don't know how milk got into my body."
