Nothing gets your heart pumping quite like competitive international baseball. Except, of course, for a strong shot of espresso. Team Italy, coached by New York Mets legend Mike Piazza, has a unique advantage if and when they get tired while competing at the World Baseball Classic. Their dugout has an espresso machine, with to-go coffee cups and everything, ready for use at any given moment.
While it’s not exactly a performance-enhancing drug, it’s a strategy that was popularized by former NBA forward Boris Diaw. The “Borista” installed a tiny espresso machine in his locker and even brought it with him to the Grand Canyon.
