The reason we really like minor league sports is because of contests like this one.
At a recent Memphis Redbirds game, a contest was held in between innings to see who could chug an Icee (a Slurpee knock-off) the fastest. A blonde-haired kid, who bears a striking resemblance to our former intern Zach, came out on top, showing off some seriously impressive straw-sucking skill. Unfortunately for little Zach, though, he quickly learned of the dangers of the dreaded brain freeze!
Hopefully he at least got a cool prize for his victory. But if it’s like most of these contests, it was probably a XXL t-shirt with a bank logo on it or something. Well done, kid.
Our man was not going to be denied in the Icee Chugging Contest. No matter the cost.
