Rough day for the Cleveland Indians, and an even worse day for one specific Houston Astros fan too. At least for the fan’s sake, his injury was essentially a self-inflicted wound. In the middle of the game, Eddie Flores, stood up and shouted:
I’ll by everyone in this section a beer if George Springer hits a Home Run.
Apparently, George Springer must have been listening-in to Eddie too because right after Eddie made his promise, Springer blasted a homer in his very next at-bat, and forced Eddie to follow through on his bold proclamation. So, Eddie pulled out $300 cash on spot, and bought a round of brews for his entire section.
Houston ended beating the Indians 7-2 in Game 1.
Flip the pages to see the video of George Springer and José Altuve hitting back-to-back jacks in the bottom of the 5th Inning; pictures of Eddie after he purchased $300 worth of overpriced stadium beers for his entire section; and to hear George Springer speaking to reporters in the post game.
