Four Major League Baseball teams have extended the time for selling beer through the eighth inning as the pitch clock has shortened game times.
that they will sell beer longer into the game this season because games are not as long as they have been, and people have had less time to order alcohol, NBC News reported.
But according to the data, games have been considerably shorter this season, largely thanks to the new pitch clock rules. Through the first 1 1/2 weeks of the season, game time was down 31 minutes. That puts this season’s games on track to being the shortest since 1984, according to NBC.“If it turns out that this is causing an issue or we feel that it might cause an issue, then we’ll revert to what we have done previously,” said Brewers President of business operations Rick Schlesinger.
