Scroll halfway down this article to read about Anheuser Busch’s lawsuit.
Essential, A-B had an informal agreement with MLB to continue being the official brew of baseball. However, after MLB discovered that A-B was paying the NFL $43 million as opposed to the $10 million Major League Baseball was getting, they called off the deal.
Now A-B is an angry beer-spewing legal monster and wants to sue to ensure that MLB cannot shop sponsorship to any other brewery. If things get out of hand, I hope that the Cardinals secede from the league and The King of Beers starts their own Beer and Whiskey league. Perhaps they can lure Rex Ryan over with a fat paycheck to promote the league.
Now that would be an A-B product I’d like to try! Until that happens, I’m pushing for the MLB to shop around.
