the online home of offline nightlife

Booze and baseball have have a long and colorful history together. From the parties at the team clubhouses to the bottles drank on flights, many a big-leaguer has raised his blood alcohol level up near their slump-time batting averages. Below is an entire All-star team of baseball's biggest booze hounds, comprised of legends and current players alike.

First Base: Miguel Cabrera

Third Base: Wade Boggs

ShortStop: Derek Jeter

In 2008, a several pictures (the best of them appearing above) leaked onto the Internet and subsequently have helped land Jeter the shortstop position on this all-boozers team. Clearly spending his off-season productively, Jeter is seen passed out poolside with girls, Coronas and a bottle of Grey Goose. This wouldn't be the first time we've seen Jeter sloshed, but unlike many partying athletes he manages to keep his head in the game. By the way, the blonde girl seen drinking with Jeter above was on Rock of Love until Bret Michaels gave her the boot.

Catcher: Rollie Hemsley

Rollie Hemsley was a catcher best known for his excessive drinking habits that got him kicked off of four MLB clubs. Before joining Alcoholics Anonymous, Hemsley partied like a member of Motley Crue. Stories are widespread of the catcher setting fire to cars, raising hell on trains and catching a ball dropped from the top of Cleveland's Terminal Tower (which he later repeated while sober). Most believe that he would have eventually been kicked out of the majors for his chaotic lifestyle, if he didn't decide to get help and sober up.

Pitcher: David Wells

Who better to pitch for the Boozin' Allstar team than a man who threw a perfect game "half drunk?" In 1998, Wells became one of only 15 pitchers in the history of baseball to throw a perfect game (no batters got to base). The night before, Wells reports that he was at a Saturday Night Live party getting tanked until early morning. On this, Wells has written, "...15 men in the history of organized baseball have ever thrown a perfect game...but only one of those men did it half-drunk, with bloodshot eyes, monster breath and a raging, skull-rattling hangover. That would be me."

Right Field: Babe Ruth

What team of drunken baseball players would be complete without the legendary Babe Ruth. One of the most common baseball jokes is that, while Ruth took no steroids, he did it all off hot dogs and beer. Regardless of one's own opinion on drinking, few can argue with Ruth's 714 career home runs. If any player were to challenge Boggs to a drinking contest, the only one who might stand a chance is Ruth, who is rumored to have begun experimenting with alcohol by age seven.

Left Field: Ted Williams

How bad can the booze be if was a favorite of Ted Williams, the last player to bat .400 in a full season? Williams was known to go on all-night boozers that often continued well into the light of day. Sometimes his partying was so epic that he would miss games, sleeping off hangovers in his room. While the press often reported him as coming down with bad colds, the truth was that the legendary player was just too out of control to make it to the game. Joe Cronin eventually warned Williams that if he dared to show up drunk again, he'd be fired from the team.

Center Field: Mike Cameron

If you thought Wade Boggs had talent for being able to play the day after drinking massive quantities of beer, you must stand in awe of Mike Cameron, who claimed in a 2007 interview that he has actually played games drunk. Cameron told a reporter, "...shit, I've played drunk... I went four for four with two jacks and eight ribbies. I'm not saying that's the only day I played drunk, but that was the best one." One marvels at how a center fielder (arguably one of the most physically demanding positions on the field) was able to chase down fly balls while intoxicated, but we'll have to take his word for it.
