Marlins Bat Boy - unsuccsessful (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2142263)

ilk does a body good, but it didn't do good for one batboy.

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 Miami Herald reported Wednesday.

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.

''It's ridiculous that they worry about stuff like that. It shows they [the Marlins organization] don't know anything about the game. That kind of stuff goes on everywhere. It didn't affect the way he worked, the way he did his job.''

Thank to this article, two of my coworkers are attempting the milk challenge this afternoon. One of them, who has travelled to India, convinced the other that an old Indian custom of cleansing the body would be the best way to be successful. Therefore, they are both now drinking saltwater until they throw up. After they vomit, their stomachs should be expanded and their digestive tract from stomach up "cleansed."

That's the theory, anyways.

Update: At the 15-minute mark, coworker 1 (1 is the guy who had the saltwater drinking brainstorm) has finished half a gallon. In between glasses of milk, he does this weird type of calisthenics. It looks like some kind of cross between yoga, elementary-school gym class activities (think "duck walking"), and Ralph Maccio practicing on the beach.

He's a strange dude.

Coworker 2 is slightly behind, and complaining loudly about the stomach pain "that damned salt water" has caused him.

Unbelievably, the only person here with any kind of digital camera was frantically recharging his phone, but alas, not in time.

Coworker 1 gave up on the faux-yoga shortly after the first half gallon and resorted to pacing back and forth instead. He then took off his shirt, either in an attempt to keep it puke free or for the slight drizzle to knock him out of his milk-induced haze. He lost it at about the 40 minute mark with 4 spectacular projectile vomits.

Coworker 2 barely made it through his first glass of the second half gallon before he started spitting and making little sour faces. He puked at about the 35 minute mark. "I have never felt so humiliated as when I was doubled over throwing up, and all of you [there were 9 non-participants] were howling with laughter at my misery."

If you've never seen anybody do this, I highly recommend goading someone into it, especially if its someone for whom you have a slight dislike. The vomit at the end is really amazing.

EDIT: Oh, another coworker decided to try the old "six saltines in a minute thing" afterwards. Not nearly as entertaining.

I don't think there's much in the way of rules, so long as the contestant eats the whole pound in a reasonable amount of time. Reasonable being probably 1-3 hours. Have someone certified in CPR and a portable defibrillator handy.

I took this bet on the way home from a frat party back in college, except with water. I finished it in 8 minutes. Could not keep it down, though. We settled for "no action" and I threw up about as hard as a person can without organs coming up. It was like a river of water coming out of my mouth.

My roommate and I both had the better part of a gallon of milk (each, not shared) left in our fridge the day before winter break my freshman year. We both sat down in the kitchenette and drank our milk until it was gone. It was probably about 3/4 gallon, give or take, for each of us and we both did it in well under an hour. I'm pretty sure we were both near our limits, though, and that last 1/4 gallon could well have been disastrous. We were eating stuff with it too, though. There was a kid in our hall who kept going around trying to get everyone to do the gallon in an hour and he stopped trying to get either one of us to do it after that day. I've never tried doing a whole gallon and I'm sure I couldn't do it now. I guess the world will never know.

This is whole milk I'm talking about here, too. I'm not sure if you guys are doing it with whole, skim, 1%, or what.

He said that one of the ball boys' jobs was to have a gallon of milk iced down for wilt to drink during halftime, so maybe if you're 7' tall, the milk challange aint no thang.

If you actually used the entire hour, it seems like it would be hard to not finish the whole gallon.

Most people probably fail because they try and finish the whole thing in 5 minutes.

If you actually had cups marked out for specific increments and weren't just chugging straight from the jug, you could probably do well.

No, the problem is when the milk starts to curdle in your stomach. It's not pure milk that comes out. It looks like a nasty cottage cheese/milk hybrid, all chunky and whatnot. It's not a pretty exercise. I've seen over a dozen people try it, and no one succeed. I'd wager that there is no way &gt;5% of the population can actually do this, while 90+% will say they can.

I'm still curious about how many milk bet attempts are using which kind of milk. It sounds like it's a bitch for most people regardless of type, but I'll bet the whole milk is much harder still.

My boy is confident he can take a gallon of skim in 1/2 an hour, and hold it down, and I'd bet on him.

I imagine the issue with a gallon of milk is the lactose in it and the stomach not having enough lactase to break it down. I'm pretty sure there are pills lactose intolerant people can take to help increase lactase production or something to that effect. If a competitor got a hold of something like that, I can imagine it being possible. They might have to eat a lot of lettuce to stretch their stomach beforehand to insure there's space in there, but I feel like the stomach should be able to distend to accomodate a gallon of liquid no problem.

Lower fat milks and nonfat actually have milk-solids added to enhance mouthfeel since there is less/no fat.

Because of this, I wouldn't be surprised if lower fat milks were equally or even MORE difficult to drink in the milk challenge.

Thank to this article, two of my coworkers are attempting the milk challenge this afternoon. One of them, who has travelled to India, convinced the other that an old Indian custom of cleansing the body would be the best way to be successful. Therefore, they are both now drinking saltwater until they throw up. After they vomit, their stomachs should be expanded and their digestive tract from stomach up "cleansed."

That's the theory, anyways.

- I remember in the late 70's-early 80's seeing on some show like "real People" or "that's Incredible" a guy who could chug a pitcher of beer in like 4 secinds, and could chug 20 a night easily. I seem to remember that he had some sort of wierd metabolism that wasn't affected by alcohol too. I think he holds many beer-drinking records to this day, but I'd think he'd have little problem.

-Another similar challenge is a spoonful of pure cinnamon, no sugar. 5 minutes without puking.

I've seen over 20 people try and fail, including 2 college linemen.

How many of these people actually paced themselves?

I'm skeptical of all these failures myself. I'd bet that most of these people try to chug the gallon and then end up puking about 8 minutes into it. If you paced yourself I'm positive you could do it.

We need some motivation to get people to step up. How about one of the posters who claim to be a girl offers to give the first successful challenger a BJ? With pics posted here, of course.

One guy said he was able to do it after using "stomach neutralizer" whatever that is....sounds like that ought to be outlawed.

You should tell him to try chugging saltwater until he throws up, then going for it.

For everybody who thinks that people are just trying to chug it too fast, of the five attempts I've seen, nobody took that route. Hell, coworker 1 looked like he was practicing for the kumate in between glasses. Enough people have done this that pacing has been thoroughly explored.

That may be so, but my boy is willing to step up!

Next time we have a poker get together that he comes to, I think he'll do it then. I'll post the results. I expect him to finish the gallon in the half hour and then be complaining that he's thirsty half an hour later.

One of the local sportstalk radio station hosts is taking the milk challenge.

He's an idiot, but whatever. I love this challenge, everyone thinks they can do it.

"I like milk, this should be easy"

"I can eat a lot of food, milk shouldn't be any different"

whatever.

Yeah, but most of those people were probably idiots. Some of the most intelligent people in the world reside in OOT and it wouldn't surprise me if at least 30% of the posters here can figure this challenge out.

You need two things to beat this challenge
(1) youth
(2) enough intelligence to figure out how to pace yourself. An hour is a long, long time.

I don't have either one of the above, but I'm sure many other posters here are young enough and bright enough to figure out how to beat this challenge. Rock this challenge OOT!

I suspect a mixture of chugging and pacing is needed to accomplish this goal.

What you have to do is chug at least a quart right off the bat, should take you 2 minutes, then wait until the fifteen minute mark without drinking a drop. Now for the next 40 minutes start pacing yourself to drink another 2 and a half quarts and in the last 5 minutes down the rest.

The times and amounts can be tweaked, but the idea is to maximize the stomachs digestive rate at all times. If you start off at a slow steady pace, you are wasting digestive time that could be put towards actually processing the milk in order to make room for more.

Extremely stupid timing on the part of the both of them. Should have done it after the game, not before. Clearly, something that could make you get very sick and/or throw up could affect your job performance.

Good thing Penny can play, because he can't think for sh_t.

I think its 50+ hotdogs in 12 or 15 minutes, not a whole hour.

Also Kobayashi is totally ripped so there is no way he weighs that much.
