      He wants you to buy them outside of the stadium.

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

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

    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.

      It’s crazy that he’s like a veteran on the team. The bleachers fucking love him.

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

    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.

      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

    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.

        Well that makes me feel a little better. I know Happer hasn’t had the offensive year he would’ve liked, but I hope he gets another contract. Unfortunately at this point I doubt we’ll see any new contracts until the CBA is worked out.
