Game #3 of the 2015 season is in the books. Final score: Marc 4, Phil 3, Jeremy 2, Travis DNP

It was a great day for Beer Shoes at Betty Bush Stadium -- 25 C, overcast. The field played crazily, but we overcame the unusual bumps to have our best game of the season.

ABOUT THE FOUNDING FATHERS:
The (Mostly Made-up) Biographies of the Founding Fathers of Beer Shoes

JEREMY
Jeremy was born in a potato field, in Prince Edward Island. He developed his beer shoes throwing motion by tossing potatoes at lobsters. He has stated on more than one occasion that he loves Beer Shoes more than life itself.

MARC
Marc recently had to come to grips with the retirement of Numbuh 2, Derek Jeter, Numbuh 2. He has recently discovered a balance between fatherhood and beer shoes. We will try to unbalance the scales in favour of more beer shoes.

PHIL
Phil is from Canada. His favourite baseball team is the Toronto Blue Jays, who used to be owned by Labatt's. Thus, he grew up being bottle-fed from a Labatt's 50 stubby bottle. He invented beer tabs and twist-off caps so as to facilitate faster attainment of the ultimate goal: DRINK BEER. Phil is a Saggitarius.

TRAVIS
Travis takes the concept of the "gentleman" to its logical extreme by wearing expensive suits. Just not during Beer Shoes. Travis is known for winning many beer-drinking marathons throughout his career.

THE RULES OF BEER SHOES:
Central to the attitude of the sport of Beer Shoes is the fact that we play as gentlemen, and therefore refer to each other as gentlemen or sirs. (Women may play the sport, too, and therefore will be referred to as ladies. Please accept the term of gentleman to mean lady if it is a female about whom is being spoken.)

THE MOST BASIC RULES:
Each game of Beer Shoes normally consists of nine innings, although the length of the game may be shortened if mutually agreed upon by the gentlemen. The object of the game is to knock over another player's beer can by tossing the baseball towards said can. Each knockdown is called a shoe.

The first gentleman with 3 shoes wins the inning.

The gentleman with the most innings won during nine innings wins the match. As soon as one player can no longer be caught in terms of innings won, the match is complete.

The can may be full to start the game, but will usually be empty the longer the game is played. Of course, each player continues to drink beer from a second (or third, or fourth, etc.) can sitting nearby.

THE FINER POINTS OF BEER SHOES:

- The game is usually played with four players in a square formation, but may also be played with three in a triangular formation.

- Count off 35 feet between players, forming a square shape. Each gentleman sits at a corner of the square.

- Place the beer cooler at the center of the square.

- One player will first introduce all the gentlemen who have gathered for the match.

- The singing of one or two lines of the national anthem(s) is expected.

- Everyone shakes hands, offers best wishes to each other, and then returns to his (or her) corner.

- Trash-talking is widely abhorred by the founders of Beer Shoes. If one player engages in "mean talk" during the match, the other gentlemen may rebuke that player and request an apology. In some cases, the gentlemen may meet for a handshake or group hug to re-establish the gentlemanly rapport.

- When a player tosses the ball wide, the owner of the can is expected to "dive" in order to save the tosser an error. Good efforts at saving the ball are normally met with applause and expressions of gratitude.

We will undoubtedly make up more rules the longer we drink.

After a three-year absence, we have brought back the great sport of BEER SHOES!

On Sunday, March 22, 2015, three of the Founding Fathers were available to reignite the passion that unites us all. Marc, Jeremy, and Phil grabbed some prime real estate across from Bundang-gu Office in the park and played a full 9 innings.

By the end of the match, Jeremy had won 4 innings, Phil had won 3, and Marc had won 2. Jeremy, therefore, has the first victory of the 2015 season. Congratulations!

For the next match, we hope to have the remaining Founding Father, Travis, to complete the foursome. Life is good.
