Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: The fan who caught Giancarlo Stanton’s 300th home run ball got a lot of cool stuff from the Yankees, plus 2 Bud Lights

Ask and you shall receive.

When a player hits a milestone homer — first home run in the majors, one of the hundred marks, a franchise or season record — the team will usually go above and beyond to get that ball back for the player. Whether it’s offering tickets or a meeting with the player or whatnot, that ball will be back in the team’s possession sooner or later in most instances.

Giancarlo Stanton hit his 300th home run on Thursday night, and according to YES Network’s Jack Curry the fan who caught it will indeed receive a mess of perks from the Yankees as a thank you for not keeping the ball for himself to hoard and appreciate in his home for a few years before auctioning it off when the price has peaked.

But besides the meet and greet with Stanton, autographed baseballs, free tickets, and a field and clubhouse tour, he also got ...

... two Bud Lights?

Yep, on top of all the more traditional bribes the fan in question asked for he also asked for a pair of ice cold Bud Lights. Or at least I hope they’ll be cold, because otherwise that might be a bridge too far. He knew exactly what he wanted a he got it.

Beers are expensive at Yankee Stadium so he’s saving himself nearly $30 at his next game. That’s no laughing matter. Having to pay that much for beer at a game is enough to stress you out a little so it’s a smart move to remove that factor from a nice night out watching baseball. So while it’s not the most ridiculous ask in the world, but it is pretty funny.

It’s even funnier to think of the Yankees putting forward the Bud Lights as their starting offer.

Yankees: We hear you caught a very important ball. Our opening bid is two frosty Bud Lights. Bottles, not draft.

Random fan: Uhhhh ... maybe?

Enjoy your beers, dude.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
