t is said that the patrons sat a long moment in stunned silence. Gradually, however, the businessmen quietly returned to their prior conversations, dismissing the incident as the sad ravings of a disturbed mind.

Yet some would later recall that the young brewer himself sat in long and studied solitude, intently examining the tabletop. Further, it was later claimed that he was spotted that very evening, returning to the tavern under cover of darkness to quietly purchase the table and its odd carvings from the tavern's owner... Mere Legend?

Many think so. Yet to this day, others have noted odd coincidences which began the very next year as Americans launched their centennial celebrations of the nation's 100th birthday:

1.	In 1876, the National League was chartered creating baseball’s first true professional major league. The game of baseball quickly became so popular that it did indeed become America’s great “national pastime.”

2.

That same year, from his father-in-law’s midwestern brewery, the young brewer successfully launched his new beer. Like the game of baseball, the new brand grew in popularity so rapidly that it did indeed became America’s first “national beer.”

3.	Popular interest in both the new beer and the game of baseball spread fastest (oldtimers later insisted) wherever fans enjoyed a “spectator’s” version of the game which by the turn of the century had come to be widely known throughout the great eastern cities of America as “Beer Can Baseball.”

4.

And in a dark and dust-filled corner of the archives of that same midwestern brewery, there is said to rest, by the few who claim to have actually seen it, an old tavern table with strange markings upon its face that, its witnesses will swear, bear an uncanny resemblance to the Official Scorecard for the Original Beer Can Baseball.
