Ummm...not necessary, if you ask me
Is it just me, or is it bad taste to douse a deceased teammate’s jersey with alcohol after winning a division, as the Angels did with Rick Adenhart’s Monday? Does the fact that Adenhart was killed by a drunk driver make it worse? Is there ever a proper time to poor perfectly good beer anywhere other than into peoples’ mouths?
I realize I’m asking a lot of questions this week, but any answers would be appreciated…

It’s up to them how they salute him. I, personally, don’t have a problem with pouring out some liquor. I think with the way they handled adversity, and still won the division, they’re allowed to celebrate any which way they want.

Yeah, it’s obviously a traditional celebration and I don’t question the Angels’ sincerity. With that said, it’s still a bit of a sensitive subject for the families of those involved, so hopefully it sat well with them.
