The Red Sox will not allow beer in their clubhouse this season, according to manager Bobby Valentine. Beer consumption will also be cut off on the last leg of road trips. "It's just what I've always done, except in Texas, I guess," Valentine said. "I'm comfortable with it that way." The ban doesn't just apply to beer, but all alcoholic beverages. Clubhouse beer consumption by starting pitchers during games in which they weren't appearing became a lightning rod of controversy after last season. The Mets, Yankees and Cardinals have banned beer from the clubhouse in the past.
