    That's a bunch of fans for the cubs, so yeah.

    Yep. It's always fun being in the left field bleachers. They took a picture around the 3rd inning of everyone who got a beer out of it. We're all big fans of Ian Happ. I didn't get one of the beers, but they also do a huge pot luck on the last home game. Which is pretty awesome.

    Bleacher Jeff is a good guy. They always are helping kids get a ball tossed to me after the warm up each inning. He's there in the same seat every game.

    First I visualized it as a single $300 bill, which woulda been funnier.

    Happ does this for the last home game every season! Unfortunately his contract is up and they probably won't re-sign him, we're gonna miss him dearly.

    I had to look it up but $300 would get you 15 to 25 beers depending on the size and type of beer

    The cheapest, smallest beer you can get is $12, then.

    Which would be sort of reasonable if it was a pitcher/jug. But we know it isn't.

    Even at a regular restaurant or bar, a beer is gonna be like $6 or $8.

    Maybe 30 years ago you could get a pitcher for $12 if it was happy hour or something.

    Usually the cheapest is a big can of bud light or similar, I think they are 24oz

    Draft and craft beers are usually $2-$6 more than the bud light for 16-20oz, so $12 would actually get you the biggest at most stadiums

    Now that's pretty gangster. Didn't think I'd see people acting like that ever again

    Hell yeah. I saw the clip from the broadcast side and it was such a cool gesture.

    Pretty sure that stadium is cashless now...

    I mean I'd keep the $300 and use my CC to get the beers. Most stadiums also have cash to card ATMs if you absolutely don't have any card with you

    There are cash to card ATMs now? Bizarro World.

    Yup. I encountered one at a Boston Bruins game at TD Garden recently, after discovering I couldn't buy a beer with cash. Cash goes in, prepaid debit card comes out. Surprisingly, it didn't cost anything to load the cash - the same amount I put in ended up on the card. I did have to enter some PII to satisfy our bullshit KYC regs.

    Baller move, but it’s kinda bittersweet. He probably wouldn’t have done it if he thought he’d be back next year. He’s a free agent after this season, and this makes me think he’s assuming he’ll end up somewhere else.
