This whole story was terrific. Never knew that about Dave Valle. Life is more fun when bar owners create fun beer promotions.

One of my favorite quotes during the Valle BA = drink price stretch came from Scott Bradley, Mariners backup catcher, regular Big Unit battery mate, and who barely surpassed the Mendoza Line himself in ‘91. He defended Valle by stating (as I remember, not a direct quote), “Most people couldn’t catch a Major League fastball, let alone hit one.”
