Adrestia Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) [url="http://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/ginger-ale-remains-the-rangers-bubbly-of-choice/"]http://bats.blogs.ny...bbly-of-choice/[/url] [quote]ARLINGTON, Tex. — As has become their custom, the Texas Rangers celebrated their second consecutive American League pennant by spraying ginger ale on one another on the field after their 15-5 victory against the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series on Saturday night. The custom was started last year out of sensitivity to outfielder Josh Hamilton, who battled drug and alcohol abuse. Hamilton said he was still touched by the gesture. “It’s pretty sweet that they would do that on the field,” he said. “Just to be good role models for kids in stadium. I think Detroit did something like that this year, too, for Miguel Cabrera. We’re showing it can be a family environment, and people can enjoy it.”[/quote] How c o o l is that?

CatherineM Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Very c[i]oo[/i]l. I had a front row seat to Josh's downfall in St. Pete, and his climb back. I was pretty worried that he might have a setback after that fan died falling trying to catch a ball Josh had thrown into the stands. Besides, ginger ale is cheaper, and we should all be economizing in these uncertain financial times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I actually could have been at the game last nite, but things didn't work out as I planned.. It was great watching it from the "front row seat" of my living room couch I hope they take the Series!!! I'm so proud of my Rangers!!! WOOOOO HOOO!!!AND yeah, it is extremely razzle dazzle they don't use champagne to celebrate out of respect for their team mate... those guys love each other like a family...

Ed Normile Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 That was certainly considerate of their team mate. Alcoholism is a terrible thing, some people become one om their first drink while others it just catches up to in time. make no mistake it can ruin a life. Then there are those who can drink socially, or get drunk whenever they want and just lay off it when they feel like it. I will root for the rangers as once again my Pirates were not even close again this year. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
