Marlins Suspend Batboy for Milk-Drinking Dare
On a dare, a Florida Marlins batboy tried to drink a gallon of milk in under an hour without throwing up. But not only did the batboy not succeed in the challenge, his mere attempt cost him his job for six games[...]The Marlins suspended the unidentified batboy for the team's upcoming six-game homestand against the Cardinals and Mets from Aug. 28 through Sept. 4 for accepting the dare Sunday from Dodgers pitcher (and former Marlin) Brad Penny.
Penny offered the batboy $500 if he could drink a gallon of milk in less than an hour before Sunday's game without throwing up. Penny told the paper the boy drank the milk and didn't throw up, but didn't finish the gallon in the allotted time frame to win the dare.
"It's kind of ridiculous that you get a 10-game suspension for steroids and a six-game suspension for milk," Penny told the Herald.

What is funny is that there our guys that I've worked with who have done this and other eating contests.
Is it possible to drink this much milk? I've heard of the bet, nut never of any successful outcomes.
rumor has it that somebody at work did it. I'm not sure I believe it. I thought it was a physical impossibility.
Here's one man's story.
Everyone hs to follow Chill's link. It is hilarious.
