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.
