A.J. Pierzynski, 18-year veteran catcher, has come clean about some of his rally routine. Most players try to stay hydrated with plenty of water or Gatorade during long games. Others grab a hand full of sunflower seed or a few pieces of bubble gum to stuff their mouths with. Baseball is a slow pace game in which you must have a love for to play continuously day in and day out but Pierzynski has another love that keeps him entertained, drinking beer.
Pierzynski will be featured on FoxSports Garbage Time with Katie Nolan, admitting that he has drunk a few beers while in uniform.
I appreciate Pierzynski’s honesty but I wonder how his managers feel about his actions. I don’t think it’s appropriate or safe for professional athletes to drink on the clock. I guess Pierzynski would fit in perfectly with the 2011 Boston Red Sox.
