Do you think that some professional athletes would trade their fame, success, and fortune for a cold rootbeer?

No, but if they did, they would just become famous for being that guy who traded their fame, success, and fortune for a cold rootbeer.  Then you'd have A&W, Barqs and Mug tripping over themselves to offer endorsement contracts, making this athlete rich still. Therefore they would still be famous, successful, and rich whether they like it or not.  So is there really a logical answer besides....... no?

MAYBE. IF THEIR DRUNK ENOUGH

It is possible. But in order for that to happen they will need a new owner. The current owner cares more about his other team (redwings), and is clueless when it comes to baseball.\n\nUnfortunately, mike ilitch is stubborn and doesnt see the neglect he has caused. The Detroit Tigers used to be a proud franchise, under his regime they havent had a winning (.500 or better) in 12 years (2006 will be 13).\n\nHe says he wants a winner and that he cares...but he really is talking about his hockey team.

The thirsy one should win it so they can drink.

Of course and I'd finish it off with a tall, cold Budweiser.\n\n\nHEY EVERYBODY!!!   HEY!!!

Yes, definitely.  People are seeking personal trainers more and more.  Besides if you were really good you could end up working for celebrities and really bring in some major cash. : )

Remember, most of these players (European or South American) live in nations with either lower drinking ages or far more liberal attitudes regarding alcohol consumption. Even in some nations with lower drinking ages the subject of underage drinking is not taboo. This often leads to far lower levels of abuse and alcoholism due to simply exposing young people to it at a younger age. In The U.S. underage drinking is seen as part of a rebelling stage in the early teen stages. If the drinking is accepted is that really rebelling?\nSo I guess to answer your question, they celebrate exactly like all other athletes, by drinking an ass-load of champagne. Oh, and they are rich so they do whatever they want.

Me!\n\nI'll take any son of Cecil on my team.  He may not have the power of a Ryan Howard, but he'll be a nice producer on that team.  Same thing goes for Weeks.  With those 2 plus Bill Hall & JJ Hardy & Carlos Lee & Jenkins (when healthy), they have good and versatile team..... not to mention that unheralded pitching staff.  The Brewers have a nice core of players that will hopefully stay together for many years.  I'm not a Brewers fan, but I'd love to see them contend w/ all of the big spenders.  \n\nScrew the Yankees!  SALARY CAP FOR BASEBALL, BABY!

While im not going to spend the time to figure this one out i will say that i am a Milwaukee Brewer fan and that at almost every brewers game i watch or attend i am able to identify at least one or two former brewer players. although id also assume this also true with more or less all small market teams such as Kansas city or Pittsburgh.

I think it is suppose to be about the best of the best.  Since they get paid alot of money to play a game, chances are they are the best at what they do.  That doesn't mean that there aren't amatuers out there that might deserve to be there but were overlooked due to status.

no, you just need to get out more...\nLots of sports and/or statistics fans\nlove fantasy baseball, but the real thing is better,\nyou can get beer there!

I think he is great also.  Some of the things he says are designed to rile fans of players and teams up.  You have to understand that and not take offense.  I do think he knows the game and has a good eye for young players.  He says things a lot of us would say after we had a few beers.

I think they would end up getting drunk toghther.

myself I think the deal about juicing has NEVER been proved. I mean come on people we are talking about a man that has played 20 years and has compiled some of the best stats EVER, and people want to trash everything he has done on whispers. Damn he started out on a crap team and lead it to be a contender. I think he has every god given right to be in the HOF. Look at some of the old timers in the hall... drunks, wife beaters, gamblers, I need not go on. I by far don't hate Barry and if most of the baseball public would get their heads out of their a$$es and get off the holier than thou seat they wouldn't either. Last I know he played in America ... ya know innocent until PROVEN guilty, and I don't mean people trying to make a quick buck with "tell all" books. Just my thoughts.....

Definitely,\n\nAnd water fountains everywhere should only provide cold Budweiser.

There is an old saying that has applied to athletes over the years--it applied to Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, and it applies to TO\n\n"You can take the boy out of the ghetto, but you can never take the ghetto out of the boy."\n\nSadly, this has led to the demise of several athletes who otherwise could have been great, but their personal issues prevented them from ever rising about their bad upbringing.

Geez, anybody could get... batboy, waterboy, laundry man, you could be an athletic trainer, or be one of the front office guys, accountant, consultant, lawyer, agent, waiter, bartender if the stadium has a bar, janitor, mascot, field maintenance crew, mechanic, bat maker, glove guy the guy who restrings the gloves together, I dont know some of this sorta blends together but you get the idea!!!
