If you remember last year the Marlins had a batboy suspended after a milk drinking wager. Well, he is back with a new job.

Former Marlins batboy Nick Cirillo has a new job as a clubhouse attendant for the Washington Nationals.

Cirillo was suspended for six games last year for accepting a dare from Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny, who offered Cirillo $500 if he could drink a gallon of milk in an hour without throwing up. Cirillo, who lost the bet, wouldn't comment Wednesday.

While Penny did offer $500, the total wager ended up being $1,000, but that really doesn't matter.

It is nice to see that the bovine juice chugging young man has landed back on his feet and is still in baseball.
