Baseball Player traded for Cases of Budweiser – This DiSH for April 26

In 2003, pitcher Nigel Thatch was traded to the Fullerton Flyers for 60 cases of Budweiser. Thatch was and still is an actor who wanted to play baseball. He acted in a series of Budweiser commercials in the early 2000s. 

In 1983, the Baltimore Colts drafted John Elway with the first overall pick.

In 1931, Lou Gehrig hit a home run that didn't count. He ended up in a tie with Babe Ruth at the end of the season for most home runs. 

In 2006, Kobe Bryant changed his jersey number from 8 to 24.
