They did it again this year, and took a bench minor for delay of game because of it.

Ah yes, this is exactly what the anthropological study of sports looks like. I bet that is what George Gmelch also looked like while doing ethnographic research and field work when writing Baseball Magic.

If I could drink beer at my job I would work a lot more hours, and I don't want to become a workaholic.
