I’ve never had a bachelor’s party, but if I were to have one I would definitely want it to be at a Rays game.
Because a certain DRB writer is indeed having his bachelor’s party at Tropicana Field tonight, I thought we could consider the history of this practice. Apparently, the tradition can be traced back to ancient Sparta, where there was a feast to celebrate the groom to be.
In polite 19th and early 20th century society, bachelor parties might be black tie affairs thrown by the groom’s father or father-in-law to be.
But by the late 20th century, of course, they were known as raucous nights of debauchery.
