Plus you don't want a player to get beaned with one of those things, rock-solid by that point.
I do wonder if this will be slightly different at MLB games, because the result actually matters (to whatever extent a mid-July regular season game does, at least) and therefore the fans have some reason to stay for the whole game. Minor league game outcomes are essentially irrelevant even to the participants.
and the liability.
Believe it or not, when I was early 40s, I got carded at a Comiskey beer stand. In response to the look of incredulity on my face, the server said "we get a lot of trouble from you guys." As I handed over my license I said "I'm sure you do get a lot of trouble from middle-aged guys but I still want a beer."
does this even make sense? Before the fans go home they had LESS time to buy food, no?
Citi Field does this for EVERYBODY at Mets games.
it's kind of amusing, and some of the pourers have a sense of humor.
I like to ask what is the oldest person they have 'checked.'
my/their current record is 86.
we had a big family trip to Great Adventure on a decently-challenging rollercoaster when my Dad was age 80.
he seemed unfazed - and afterwards I wondered how many people even older had ridden that ride.
his 35 WW II B-17 bombardier missions over Germany, and his 40 years at FDNY right after might have toughened him up, to be fair....
I've always assumed that most families go to games with a budget in mind (say each kid gets one hot dog, one drink, one snack, one souvenir), so the length of the game wouldn't really matter to them.
A few weeks ago I gave correct month and day but said "1921" as year. Cashier didn't blink/bat or react in any way, just continued the process.
That's Andy's license you're thinking of.
