Posted September 1, 200519 yr Marlins' batboy's milk bet leads to spot on Letterman tonight By Mike Berardino & Juan C. Rodriguez Staff Writers Posted September 1 2005, 12:09 PM EDT MIAMI GARDENS -- Nick Cirillo is coming out of seclusion. Cirillo, the Marlins' batboy and Fort Lauderdale resident whose recent suspension caused a national stir, is scheduled to appear as a guest tonight on The Late Show with David Letterman. A Letterman spokesman confirmed the booking Wednesday. Catherine Cirillo, the boy's mother, spoke briefly Wednesday evening as the family headed to the airport. "I really didn't want this to get out," Catherine Cirillo said. "He's probably worse off in the long run." Nick Cirillo's 15 minutes of fame began after he lost an Aug. 21 bet with Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny. Cirillo tried to drink a gallon of milk within an hour without vomiting before an afternoon game at Dolphins Stadium. He failed to collect Penny's $500 reward and left quite a mess in the visiting clubhouse. "It was all over the food area where the players eat," said one source in the room that day. "It was a big cleanup." Catherine Cirillo declined a request to speak to her son, a student at Broward Community College. "Nick doesn't want to comment," she said. "He'll talk after he gets back." Another son is a batboy on the Marlins' side, while Nick typically works with the visiting team. Paul Cirillo, the boy's father, also works at Dolphins Stadium in culinary services. Catherine Cirillo said the family had not decided whether to accept any other offers at this time, including a chance to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The Class A Fort Myers Miracle and the Milk Processor Education Program also offered to honor Cirillo if he would come forward. Wednesday, a Miracle spokesman said they would be happy to host Cirillo either Saturday or Sunday, the team's last two remaining home games. "I'm being advised by professionals what to do," Catherine Cirillo said. The Letterman appearance might have happened sooner if not for Hurricane Katrina, which left the Cirillos without power late last week. The family was initially reluctant to talk at all, she said, because of "the very small group Major League Baseball is" and the fact her son is "very well liked by many, many players." i shall watch if i dont fall asleep and i remember. on a side note, ive been so tempted all week to offer the ball boy my tips if he drinks a 40 if 30 minutes.
September 1, 200519 yr on a side note, ive been so tempted all week to offer the ball boy my tips if he drinks a 40 if 30 minutes. 925487[/snapback] 30 minutes? Wheres the challenge...make it 15 I'm a little tired of this story, but will probably tune in anyways
September 1, 200519 yr Tic...toc...tic...toc. 15 minutes is almost up. I once bonged 12 beers in 20 minutes in a trailor park in the mountains of North Carolina. Boy, am I proud of that one.
September 1, 200519 yr I'm here on the west coast, I'll probably watch...get some Marlins exposure I hope on a side note...D. Sampson was on lebatard yesterday and did a pretty good job backing up the organizations decision to suspend the kid :thumbup
September 1, 200519 yr Beer-bonging is a science. Kind of like volcanoing(where you tap the top of one bottle with another and it foams). We should develop a Marlins drinking game for the game threads. I have on. Pierre bunt single=1 drink Pierre stolen base=2 drinks for stealing 2nd, 3 for stealing 3rd Home run by anyone: 1 drink for amount of runs scored, but a grand slam is double(meaning 8 drinks) Lenny Harris plate apperance: 1 drink for the at bat, and 1 more for each base he gets to as a result of the at bat Mikey: 1 drink for weak pop up, 3 drinks for throwing his bat in disgust after weak pop up, and 3 drinks for getting a hit(5 drinks for a homerun) Gonzo: same as Mikey Ish: 1 drink for every drop of sweat that comes off the bill of his hat Pitchers: 1 drink for a K, 2 for a K looking, 3 for a walk/hit batter, 4 for a hit allowed, 5 for a home run allowed, 15 for a wild pitch/grand slam allowed/walking in a baserunner, and due to the rarity...30 drinks for a balk

I'm all for it though :thumbup
September 2, 200519 yr The Valdez sweaty hat drip is what would get people...youd basicially have to chug a few beers every half inning

September 2, 200519 yr He was obviously pressured and forced to do this. Brad Penny should not only be thrown out of baseball, he should be in jail. :plain
