1 0 All Rob Reed^3014 Sign #1,098,276 that commercialism is helping to ruin baseball: MLB bans bottled water in the clubhouse 4/24/08, 12:55pm Because MLB has a commercial contract with Gatorade, players can only be seen drinking said liquid (or presumably WATER from Gatorade cups, I guess) while in the dugout. The threatened punishment for bottled water in the dugout is to completely remove it from the clubhouse. Excellent. This is a page right out of Idiocracy. Perhaps the groundskeepers should "water" the playing fields with Gatorade... because grass loves electrolytes! [Rob Reed from Sylmar/CA] Replies:
