Most baseball fans would love the opportunity to catch a home run in the stands of the World Series. When ballpark-priced beer is involved, however, that could be another story.

Bud went to twitter to help identify the guy. One twitter person suggested free beer for life. They responded we will

Your average skid-row drunk would make the same choice.

What company will Budweiser be buying the man’s beer from? Because Bud isn’t beer, it’s horse urine.

Expect a cease and desist order from Budweiser for letting out their proprietary corporate secret

Personally i’d recommend Labatt’s Blue.

He was there having fun, it can take a long line to get a beer sometimes, maybe he likes to go to the game and let-go and get toasted. I see nothing wrong with that from time time.

I googled the price of beer at the Washington National Park. It’s $9.50 for 16oz. of Bud. So the guy is standing there with $19 worth of beer (two) in his hands and here comes the ball. I can understand the hesitation. He still spilled some as he bent down to try and retrieve the ball.

Who is watching beer commercials, while not-guilty women are flashing during the game on live TV?

Does ANYONE else suspect that at least Joe Buck is the regular season broadcast announcer for the ASTROs?

Those announcers and the pre game show are/were definitely slanted toward the Astros....

It really BITES when they are right....<: <: <:

Also the UMPS are doing ALL in their power to see that we get automated Umps - at least when it concerns balls and strikes and at the LEAST a replay should be allowed with some STIFF fines if Umps wrong.

Either that or do the ‘right thing.....toss instant replay AND the DH....

Bud is THE worst beer ever made. Piss water is more like it. Vile fluid that always gives me a headache.

Steel Reserve is the best beer ever.

"Alcoholic who needs two beers at once?"

Have you ever seen the concession lines at a pro sports event? If he was an alcoholic, he would have bought a couple of beers and walked back to the end of the line.
