Where Are They Now? Tonight's drinking game! (compliments of Captain RE2PECT)

  • 1 drink for any mention of God's Gift to Baseball
  • 2 drinks if He gets on camera
  • 3 drinks for any "Jeter" jersey shot
  • 4 drinks if asked in-game for His commentary on the ballgame or any player
  • 5 drinks for any of His flashback moments
  • the entire six-pack if He is asked to come in and pinch hit
