There was a big baseball game. The night before the game, the coach told the team that they would have a 10 P.M. curfew, but the pitcher, Mel Famey, decided curfews weren't his style. He went out to a bar, where he found some members of the opposing team. With lots of dares and other macho means, they had Mel chugging quite a few there, the town being quite famous for its beer. They kept pouring it down Mel's throat. The next day was a bad one for poor Mel. He walked one batter after another, gave up lots of hits, and his team
lost by an astronomical score.So the town became more famous than ever for
its beer. It was later to be known as ''The Beer That Made Mel Famey Walk Us.''
