Balance of Food

How fast can you drink a gallon of milk? If you said under an hour, you had a shot at $1,000. However, the Florida Marlins' batboy given that dare wasn't ultimately successful, and suffered a 6-day suspension as a result. The batboy, who has not been identified by media reports, did drink the milk in the allotted time but did not keep it down. Even so, his calcium level was probably up but his digestive system must not have felt good. The Milk Processor Education Program reportedly will step up with the cash (at least the original $500) and also promised to cover lost wages due to the suspension. As a tie-in, they want the kid to drink three glasses of milk every 24 hours (which works well with the 24-24 milk campaign). Los Angeles pitcher Brad Penny, the player who offered the batboy the money, has said he intends to compensate him. Penny, who pitched for the Marlins from 2000-2004, has a 6-8 record this season with a 3.75 ERA.
