Top 9 Alcohol related names - Single Entry:
9. Jim Barr - 1975 Topps - Lynwood, CA -
From the back of this card:
"When Jim went the distance to hang 5-3 defeat on the Dodgers, September 2, 1974, he capped his STOUT pitching performance by clouting (!!) his first homer in organized ball. The clout (!!!) came in the 7th inning to account for the final run." Bravo Topps copywriter ~ circa 1974
8. Don Cardwell - 1970 Topps - Clemmons, NC
Our bouncer is named Donald Eugene Cardwell...take that 'War Machine'.
7. Pedro Borbon - 1980 Topps - Valverde, DR
Sadly, Pedro will soon be replaced by Jack Daniels - Ceshter, PA -1953 Bowman in 7-10 business days. Just like real baseball sometimes you need to make a move.
6. Jerry Tabb - 1978 Topps - Altus, OK
Tabb tips the scales at 195. He jumped ship from the Cubs to the A's in 1976.
5. Mike Corkins - 1971 Topps - Riverside, CA

Boozer was just the second pitcher to be ejected for throwing a 'Spitter'...during warm-ups! Nelson Potter was the first in 1944. Speaking of 'Potters'.
