Beer Ban

New Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine has banned beer from the clubhouse this season. Smart move. If you recall, the Bostons collapsed in September last year with reports that some starting pitchers (Beckett, Lackey) were spending time in the clubhouse during games drinking beer and eating fried chicken.
Many teams have banned beer in the clubhouse. I salute them. All teams should ban beer in the clubhouse. There is no need for it there and you don't want players driving drunk. That didn't end up well a few years ago for Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock who died in a car accident after drinking in the clubhouse following a game.
