Got Milk? MLB teams were definitely milking cows before Friday’s games (Video)

Forget the games, there were a couple of MLB cow milking contests going down on Friday!

Did you know that June is National Dairy Month? Yeah, me neither. Well, not until cruising through the ol’ Internet webspace this morning and coming across a few videos of MLB players squaring off in cow milking contests prior to Friday’s games.

First up: Boston’s Wade Miley against Texas pitcher Ross Ohlendorf.

Miley never stood a chance.

And next on the circuit is Los Angeles’ Alfredo Marte against Detroit’s Alex Wilson.

Put another one on the board for the home team.

Yet another reason why baseball is one of the top live sporting events around. It’s all about the game within the game. The atmosphere and the amenities. Come early and watch guys crank bp, milk some cows and then play nine strong. It doesn’t get any better than whenever the MLB pulls minor league promotions such as this. Nothing says stickball like swingin’ utters. Celebrating Dairy Month before it even begins. Baller.

And if you’re wondering whether this post was just a cheap ruse to drop some good punk music on FanSided, ya got me dead to rights.
