Sportsmen of the Year.

"Following last season's World Series win, the first baseman opened a can of worms when he claimed the Sox began a pregame ritual of downing shots of whiskey down 0-3 to the Yankees in the American League Championship Series.

Millar said yesterday the uproar following that disclosure, which wasn't totally backed by teammates, caused him considerable grief.

'The thing that bothered me was that it had nothing to do with alcohol. This wasn't about a team drinking alcohol. It was a symbolic toast, and it took a life of its own that way,' Millar said."


You can take symbolic toasts with lemonade or diet Sprite and not risk influencing all the poor li'l kids in Southie who look up to you. Not that I personally care that much, but since we're all riding our high horses and throwing stones, I feel quite comfortable breaking Kevin Millar's glass house ... while mixing as many metaphors as humanly possible in one sentence.
