Wasn't Tony found drunk and asleep in a running SUV at a stop light? I don't understand why baseball clubs would ban alcohol from MLB club houses. I mean if you don't allow alcohol to be consumed after the games by players but you're selling it at your concessions for $ 7.50 what are you really saying? Are you saying you don't want alcohold consumed on your property? It's not like MLB players are pounding a 12 pack in the locker room.
If you're banning alcohol as a PR move that seems like a pretty hollow PR move. The Rockies have huge early bird specials for drinking before the games start.
Being drunk, and using a cellphone and speeding on the highway is pretty stupid. Especially for a ballplayer. Could the guy not afford a cab? Some people are just prone to reckless behavior. Risky behavior is the number one killer of young people. Its just sad.
