Kevin Freakin' Millar...thanks to the lovely Suzanne Esposito for the pic. Too bad she's going to Hell for getting to go to the damn parade.
Millar went on FSN's "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" on Friday and said that the entire team did shots of Jack Daniel's Whiskey before Games 6 and 7 of the ALCS and all four games of the World Series. He's been getting alot of shit for it and, probably because I'm biased due to my love for all things Kevin Millar, I don't see why anyone cares. This Red Sox just LOOKED like they were having a great time...and that's a rare thing in professional sports this day and age.
People think it's wrong that they team had a drink or two before the games. You want wrong? Wrong is the MLB Player's Union not allowing Kevin Millar to be a member because he was a replacement player in 1995 during the strike. Wrong is the fact that Kevin can't make any money off of jersey sales, nor will his likeness be on any official World Series memorabilia. In fact, the MLB has rules against selling Kevin Millar Authentic jerseys. If you're a fan, and want a Kevin Millar jersey...you can't get an authentic from the MLB.com store or at Fenway Park. You have to rely on shoddy knockoffs. Just because he was playing for the love of the game while a bunch of money-grubbing assholes chose to "screw the P1" and take the 1994-1995 season off.
So, let's raise a shot of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey to Kevin Millar. A Man's Man, A Baseball Player's Ball Player.
