Day 23 - Better Late Than Never

I apologize for there being a week since my last post...but a wedding took up several days of my time...not to mention, I actually went to this past Sunday's game.

Back tracking a tad...On Wednesday, I was coming off of a great night of selling beer and was ready to bust my butt off for the 2nd game of the 3 game series for the Cards/Cubs.

And I did just that! I sold 4 cases of beer! Best night of my beer man career yet!

The thing is, I could have sold 5 cases if I hadn't spent the whole first inning and a half catching up with the Plumiers. It was well worth getting to talk to them though than getting to sell another case. It had been way too long since I've seen them.

As the night progressed, I thought it was going to be a slow night...I mean, I hadn't sold my first case and it was going into the bottom of the 3rd. Then it happened...I went through 3 cases in a matter of 3 innings.

I luckily made it through that 4th case in the bottom of the 7th with 2 outs left.

Now, I'm sure you are asking yourself what could make this night any better...sold 4 cases of beer, got to visit with the Plumiers...well how about getting to see Lynn Laughlin and Ed Plumier at the game!?!?! For those of you who know them, you know what I mean, and for those of you who don't know them, you're missing out. I stood in the Coca-Cola Patio area with Lynn during the top of the 9th as the Cards put the Cubs away.

It was great to get to see Jordan and Sammy at the game. It was even better to eat some Steak n' Shake with them and hear about the amazing things they are getting to do in Rhode Island. I was called a "bad person" by our waitress in Steak n' Shake because I was the one who got people drunk at the baseball games...her tip was going downhill quickly...

Totals thus far:
32 Bags of Cracker Jacks
33 Bottles of Water
94 Bags of Peanuts
1264 Bottles of Beer

I don't have any amazing stories since its been nearly a full week since this game and lots has happened since then...

This past Sunday, I did something I haven't done all season this year...I actually went to a game. I bought tickets for myself and my beautiful girlfriend for Sunday's game between the Cards and Royals. It felt really weird to be in the stadium and not carrying a tub of beer around...I almost caught myself yelling my beer call while walking to our seats.

It felt weird to sit back and watch other beer men and see what they did...I was also able to come up with a new beer call while sitting there that I'll share at a later date.

Visit back later this week to read about something I do with this site and how I know stlbeerman.com has taken "International" status.
