The Miami Marlins were playing the Milwaukee Brewers in Milwaukee; the score was tied 7 to 7, there were two outs, and the bases were loaded. It was the last half of the 9th inning, and the count was 3 balls and 2 strikes. with the Marlins at bat.

The great Brewer pitcher, Mel Famy, was on the mound. He had played the whole game and was sweating like a pig.

Before the critical pitch, Mel called a time out and motioned the Bat Boy to the mound. The Bat Boy approached Mel with a cold bottle of beer, which he took and guzzled down in one long swig.

He sneered and threw the empty bottle toward the Marlins' dugout.

Then he wound up and threw the pitch. The ball was low and outside and the Umpire called a “Walk”. The winning run was forced Home from 3rd, and the Marlins won the game.

After the crowd was gone, the Marlins' Manager, picked up the empty beer bottle that Mel threw toward his dugout, looked at the label, and proclaimed, “What a souvenir? This was The Beer That Made Mel Famy Walk Us”.
