HAVING A BALL: It's not just players who are having to adjust to baseball's new rules.
to start the 2023 season – game time is down 31 minutes – some ballparks are extending beer sales through the eighth inning.
The Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Milwaukee Brewers and Minnesota Twins have all made alcohol available through the eighth inning as games have sped up, according to The Associated Press. "This is [reflective] of the fact that the games are shorter. From a time perspective, we're probably looking at selling beer for the same amount of time by extending to the eighth inning that we did last year through the seventh,"Longtime vendor Rocco Caputo sells beer during a game between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field on Aug. 23, 2022."Obviously, the safety and the conduct of our fans has primacy.
Milwaukee will extend beer sales on an experimental basis and has not ruled out going back to the seventh-inning rule if need be. "If it turns out that this is causing an issue or we feel that it might cause an issue, then we’ll revert to what we have done previously," Schlesinger said.
