It's beer vs. baseball

Article Abstract:

Baseball great Roger Maris helped August Busch, Jr.'s St. Louis Cardinals win the world series in 1967, so the owner of Anheuser-Busch gave Maris an opportunity to buy a beer distributorship in Florida. In 1997 the beer company terminated its agreement with Maris Distributing Company, charging its operations were deficient. Anheuser-Busch wants a monopoly on the North Florida distribution market, in which Maris enjoyed a 64% market share.
