Blizzard's Away!

Steroids, schmeroids.

The boys of summer are back!

"On the way home from Tucson, Ariz., on Saturday, (Oakland) A's manager Ken Macha told the bus driver to stop at a Dairy Queen and told his players, still wearing their uniforms as they walked inside, to order anything they wanted.

"The rest of the people were going, 'Who are these guys? Is this a softball team?'" Macha said. "The bus driver thought I was fooling around, but I wasn't. That's what you do in Little League. The game is over, and the coach says, 'Let's get ice cream at Dairy Queen.'"

Macha's tab was a little over $51, thanks mostly to (outfielder)Nick Swisher.

"I ordered the biggest blizzard I could get, a $7 blizzard," Swisher said with enthusiasm. "Chocolate chip cookie dough!"
