Mookie Betts boots a ground ball to end the perfect game and #Dodgers Yoshinobu Yamamoto's run of perfection at 45, one short of matching the MLB record. Still no hits allowed
The drinking is the easy part. Finding a beer from Iran is the hard part.
Iran banned alcohol in 1979. Brewing it carries lashes. So the "Iranian beer" in this photo is Istak, a non-alcoholic malt drink that became the country's workaround and now sells hundreds of millions of bottles a year.
Saudi Arabia is fully dry. Their entry is Moussy, the non-alcoholic malt that dominates Gulf supermarkets precisely because real beer can't exist there.
Then come the import problems. Cape Verde's Strela and Haiti's Prestige barely leave their home markets. Curacao and Jordan qualified for the first time ever, which means almost no exporter ever bothered building a supply chain for their beer.
A 48-team World Cup quietly created the hardest beer scavenger hunt on Earth. Qualification expanded faster than beer distribution did.
The man found all 48 anyway.
Hanley Ramirez only played in 86 games in 2013, but goodness gracious it was magnificent

On Tuesday, Shohei Ohtani hit a triple in the second inning, and that ball was authenticated and is being sold for $10,000 by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
32% of all sales are donated to the D-Backs Foundation, while the remaining 68% stays with the team. Ohtani also hit a double in the first inning on Tuesday, and that ball is being sold for $2,000.
