Cliff Clavin is a legend, but I'm afraid he'd be the ultimate Smitty.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.’
You can just imagine some of the interpretations he'd come up with on the ball field!
