I don't suppose any players were consulted before that contract was signed? :smash:

That's balls of steel. Wonder what would happen if they put water in a gatorade bottle.

I'd just bring my own water in. They could take all the water out of the park if they wanted.

The Chisox are the same team that start all evening home games at 7:11, having sold starting time rights to a certain convenience store chain. Is this going a bit too far??

I guarantee you they were, or at least it's part of the MLBPA standard agreement that teams can make minor advertising arrangements like that, with some of the money either going to the players directly or into a legal defense fund, pension, etc.

Allright guys, RTFA. There's a retraction posted. The players can bring water and other drinks (its preferred they remove the label) this was obviously done by some idiot trying to impress his boss.

Nothing to see here, move along...

Drink BRAWDO its got electrolytes.

I just read the article again and don't see the retraction. Where is it?

...oh, and Pedialyte is the best anyhoo.

The link to it was down in the comments section. Not a true "retraction" per se, but it does clarify the issue.
