A new era of beer drinking at MLB games is upon us. You can now gulp down your favorite baseball stars.
At least at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees hosted their annual tasting event Monday and unveiled a new aspect of their Audi Yankees Club. The exclusive area's bar will feature a Ripples machines, which can print the likenesses of Yankees' faces on beer, coffee and food.
For the time being, only four players -- Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Giancarlo Stanton and Aroldis Chapman -- are on the menu. Various Yankees logos are programmed into the machine, and more players are to come.
This is pretty incredible. @BluePointBrewer at @yankeestadium is printing players’ faces on beer this season (also coffee and some food). @TheJudge44, @ElGarySanchez, @Giancarlo818 and @AChapman_105 are loaded into the system already with more to come. #Yankees pic.twitter.com/FlybIy6bTj
