How to drink for free Down Under.

Today's marks the 100th b-day of Sir Donald 'The Don' Bradman. The revered cricketer from country New South Wales is Australia's Babe Ruth. Bradman's career batting average of 99.94 is tattooed on the brains of cricket fans like Ruth's 714 home runs (and Hank Aaron's 755 and Barry Bonds' ... oh, who cares about Bonds) is known by all baseball fans. A tip for those planning a trip to Australia: Memorize Bradman's magic number and drop it in casual conversation during your travels. You're guaranteed a free beer.
