The A's Fight Diabetes with Root Beer Floats

Yesterday was the A's 10th annual Root Beer Float Day, where fans pay to have former and current Oakland players make them root beer floats and sign autographs. The proceeds go towards diabetes research.

Anybody else picking up on the irony here? Selling root beer floats to fund diabetes research is like selling guns to fund conflict mediation programs. Someone please call Sports Illustrated, we so deserve "This Weeks Sign of The Apocalypse."
