Sneak booze into games with your official MLB flask
I refuse to buy beer at baseball games. I simply won’t pay $7 for a Bud Light. I don’t have it in me.
At the same time, I’m not about to sit through a game sober.
My solution? I sneak a couple of small bottles of Jack Daniels or Captain Morgan into the stadium and mix them with a Coke. Sometimes I put the contraband in my cargo shorts. Once I shoved a bottle in each of my shoes (which made walking kinda difficult).
The only problem with smuggling in booze is that I feel a little guilty violating MLB policy. Not a lot guilty — somehow I manage to sleep at night — but a little guilty.
But now I can rest easy knowing that MLB wants me to sneak liquor into games. Why else would they have started marketing this — an MLB flask!
I bet if I place my order now I’ll have it in plenty of time for spring training.

That sounds like a good idea, but aren’t you paying $5 for a Coke?

A Coke is like $3.50, which is still a major rip off, but better than a $7 beer. You can bring in your own Coke, but keeping it cold is a challenge.

I too have mastered the art of sneaking a flask into sporting events.
Another great tip – if you sign up for the designated driver program at the game a lot of teams will give you a coupon for a free coke.

What is this designated driver program? Do all teams have one? Do you have to sign a pledge not to drink? Inquiring minds want to know.

hmm.. maybe it’s just a hockey/football thing. I don’t recall seeing it at a baseball game – but I thought that might just be because I mostly go to games at Wrigley.
At some stadiums – if you promise to be the Designated Driver you sign up for some contest.. and you get a coupon for a free soda. then they pick one of the drivers to win some prize towards the end of the game. I have no idea what the prize is though… probably not booze..

Citizens Bank Park has the free soda for designated drivers deal. Don’t know anyone who’s ever used it. Make of that what you will.
