- <p> Glenn Davis, this Bud's for you!" Blasting 30 home runs last
- year gave the Astros' first baseman many reasons to be unhappy. As
- part of Budweiser-sponsorsed telecasts of Houston games, Astro
- players have been so lauded on TV after hitting homers. Davis, who
- at age 17 was almost killed in an alcohol-related car crash, said
- no thanks. The Bud toast, he protested, undercut his antidrug work
- with kids. "They're going to think I'm not for real," said Davis,
- a teetotaler. This season his home runs are free of sudsy salutes.
