I've had this idea for awhile, after John and I came up with the Titanic Drinking Game, and Tinay and I kicked around a loose foundation for an Indians Drinking Game last season. Because really, if you're gonna watch the All-Star Game, you should probably have some alcohol ready. This one was almost too easy to come up with. Without further ado:
The words "historic Yankee Stadium," "House That Ruth Built," or "last All-Star Game at [historic] Yankee Stadium" are uttered: drink.
A shot of A-Rod and Jeter together: drink.
Mention of the Red Sox/Yankee rivalry: drink.
Any mention or sight of the following: Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Reggie Jackson, Babe Ruth: drink.
Any Kansas City Royal, Baltimore Oriole, or Washington National takes the field: two drinks.
Mention of Eva Longoria in the same sentence as Evan Longoria: two drinks.
Joe Torre (mention, photo): two drinks.
Joe Torre (sighting): finish your drink.
Barry Bonds: chug.
