Title: Houston Astros fan buys $500 worth of beer after calling homer
Post by: catfish1957 on October 06, 2018, 02:58:50 pm
A Houston Astros fan bought "about $500" worth of beer for those sitting around him after predicting George Springer would homer Friday in Game 1 of the American League Division Series.

"I just love my team, man," Eddie Flores told the Houston Chronicle. "I knew Springer was going to hit one, and I wanted everyone to know it. I called it."...........

I imagine that he calls it every time Springer comes to bat.  Even a broke clock is right every once in a while.
