Back in the 60’s, my Friends Father ran a Beer Distributorship in Southern California.
He was friends with Merlin Olsen. Merlin would work for him in the Off Season to make some extra money.
Back then the Paychecks weren’t all that big. Merlin needed to make some extra cash.
I still remember watching my Friends Father, a big old dude who also had played College Football, and Merlin goofing off playing catch with empty Beer Kegs.
Merlin was the nicest guy you could ever meet.
An "empty" beer keg weighs about 50-lbs. I'd have paid to watch that!
