#1 Nothing new:
Campaign volunteers for the Democratic Presidential campaign were discovered distributing cigarettes to homeless voters after the volunteers had recruited the homeless specifically for their vote Saturday.

#3 I'm a big beer fan but I wouldn't cross the street for 2 2-ounce beers. That's just a tease and barely enough to determine if the beers any good. Come on, give me a pint for gods sake.

#4 Having read the baseball article I would like to say that I cried with laughter. Naked people at sport rock.

I support Derby County who used to play at 'The Baseball Ground' - home to some of the most spectacular riots I have had the pleasure to be involved in - I quote:

1976: Derby County and Manchester United managers Tommy Docherty and Dave Mackay have contrasting views on what can be done to prevent hooliganism at football matches. This follows yesterday's riot following the clubs' goalless draw at the Baseball Ground which left 35 fans and three police in hospital. The Doc says: "If that is what happens when we draw 0-0 what will those idiots do when we lose? Mackay says: "No matter how tough you are there's no way a few men can stop a mob on the rampage". Other suggested measures include tough prison sentences, fans being fenced in and grounds being closed.
(football refugees)

Prophetic.

#6 Howard, back in those days there was another common promotion called, "bat night." Each fan received their very own wooden regulation Louisville slugger. I don't think that the two promotions - bat night and low cost beer night were ever conducted simultaneously but theresults might have spread all the way out to the suburbs.

#7 Nothing new here. The Cincinnati History Museum has a small bottle which was used to distribute hard cider for, I believe, Tyler's presidential campaign.
