According to multiple reports, the Red Sox are one of 12 major league teams that allow alcohol in the clubhouse. After this controversy, there might be none.
"I want people to understand the nature of, if we do happen to bar alcohol from the clubhouses, you have to understand the intent of this thing and what it looks like," Torre said. "We should be role models for the youngsters and how they behave. Some clubs have done it on their own. It's something we'll certainly look at (WEEI)."
Well, I guess there is going to be 11 teams that really hate the Red Sox if drinking gets banned. I am a little torn on the subject. One one hand if a guy wants to have a couple beers and he doesn't pitch for 5 more days, what's the harm. On the other hand this is a place of work and maybe it's not the best idea to be knocking back casuals. Yea, I think I'm going with that. You get paid millions of dollars to play baseball, not drinks beers.
I don't care about being a role model thing, but I do buy into the professionalism, and that they can really drink whenever they want do they really need to be doing at the ballpark. I don't think so, I think while they are at work they should be doing work. I know, I'm a little surprised I came down on this side of the fence too.
