What You Need

  • A TV or streaming device with ESPN MLB coverage

  • Scorecards or the Drinking Dojo custom drinking game builder for keeping track of dare challenges and points

How To Play the ESPN MLB Drinking Game

Step 1: Set Up Teams
Divide your crew into two teams (or more if you’re feeling rowdy). Each team picks a side: Home or Away.

Step 2: Assign Roles
Have one person serve as the “Umpire”—they keep an eye on the dares, check the rules, and call out drinking challenges throughout the game.

Step 3: Play Ball with These Rules

Every time one of these classic MLB moments happens during the ESPN broadcast, your squad drinks, dares, or both:

Basic Rules

  • Home Run: Everyone takes two sips. Last to cheer does a dare.
  • Pitching Change: Chug for 5 seconds.
  • Strikeout: Batter’s team drinks.
  • Walk: Opposing team drinks.
  • Double Play: Both teams swap drinks for one round.
  • Meme Moment (awkward fan, wild mascot, etc): Umpire picks someone for an NSFW dare or meme drinking game move.
  • Commercial Break: Everyone completes a quick dare challenge before the ads are over.

Bonus Dare Challenges

  • Fortnite Victory Dance: If a player scores, someone on the losing team must do their best Fortnite dance—if they refuse, they drink.
  • Wedding Party Toast: If there’s a proposal on screen (it happens!), everyone gives a toast and drinks.
  • Couples Drinking Games Twist: If you’re playing as couples, swap drinks with your partner every time the bases are loaded.
