While it looked like Braun was going to miss is, we never would know. There was some beer coming down before the ball got to Braun. Regardless, once the beer splashed all over Braun’s hat that should be a dead ball in my opinion. You never know how that could affect the play. I would think there could have been an effect if Braun was actually under the ball, it instead he was well right, reach over, and still missed the ball by a good margin. We should probably just play better baseball, including defense and pitching in this case, so we don’t have to hope for a beer shower bailout.
