Opie Anthony: Ten Cent Beer Night

[@jamesgentry13]

What they left out was the fact you weren't limited to 6 beers in the game it was 6 BEERS PER TRIP

[@kennethpogue718]

That’s what I was just picturing as far as last call... carrying 6 beers in your arms. If you could. You’re probably gonna spill half of all of them at that point haha

[@ebscoHOSTpub]

I cant find specifics but it was supposed to be low-alcohol content beers but people were being responsible getting 6 at a time.

[@Optimusprimerib36]

@@ebscoHOSTpub my con law, professor was talking about living in Utah where at least at the time, they only sold 3% beer. He’s like if you wanna get drunk you just need to drink at a urinal.

“I just...wanted to get his hat.” The way he says it so honestly is the funniest thing.

[@HarrisonHollers]

His eyes are hilarious

[@FranzSanchez-ky9up]

He seems like a decent guy, but you wouldn't want to get him drunk ; there's some crazy in those eyes!​@HarrisonHollers

[@my_stomach_hurt1876]

Three old dudes have a base sitting on their mantles. Respect. That’s legendary

The funny thing is there's probably about 10,000 people claiming they have one of the three lol

[@Hegelmaus81]

[@gordons-alive4940]

They probably drew non baseball fans just for the beer. Imagine going to a pro sporting event for the cheap beer.

I’d watch it, lol

[@TrailerTrashThorne]

"I just wanted his hat." xD

[@JackQNielsen]

I’m not saying what he did was the right thing to do but it’s hard to argue with such a pure and seemingly innocent motive. The guy was plastered and he just wanted that fucking hat, plain and simple as that.

[@hulkwarrior]

Used to go to some college summer league games in Fayetteville, NC about 10 years ago. They had a beer deck along the deep 3rd base line. It was $10 to get in and $1 per 12 oz. beer. Had a great time, everytime. I don't remember ever watching more than 30 seconds of baseball.

[@ScaryGhost1]

In todays days this kind of incident would have resulted in hundreds of hilarious youtube videos haha

[@rabidrabbitshuggers]

The current price of a watery clear plastic cup of Bud at Fenway is now $11.00. People still get drunk but they are spending way too much money.

[@timc4765]

High Number I don't go to Sox games too often, but when I do me and my friends always pack a bunch of nips in our pockets

[@hattorihanzo2275]

I was at a soccer game at Busch Stadium a few years back. My friend easily spent $100+ on beer. Dude could have bought a 12 pack of that piss Bud Light for a fraction of that price at the grocery store.
