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

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    I think people do similar stuff at casinos for this purpose

    Yeah In Australia it's super common even at pubs etc.

    Boy boy did a great video on it

    Didn't his house get firebombed for this one?

    These dudes have legit balls of steel. The shit they do in their videos is just nuts and I will not be surprised if it ends up killing one or both of them. Which I think they are aware of and ok with.

    The one where they go to North Korea was amazing.

    Friendly Jordies was firebombed for putting out something out on soem crime family and crime in politics.

    I think it was unrelated to this video as this came out 3 months or so after the attack.

    But certainly their videos cause a stir. It's like actual journalism.

    Boyboy actually sailed to Cuba to deliver aid when America was destroying all the boats

    Ah right... For some reason I thought it had to do with a video he did together with Boy Boy? Or maybe I'm just confusing things.

    Maybe he just did the casino video with them after the firebombing and my brain combined the two events.

    All three of them have balls of steel. They attempted murder on this guy and then he just keeps doing like intense investigative journalism. We need more people like them.

    How is a cash to card atm gonna help if you don't have your card? Don't you still need it to top up and pay with the card?

    You get a prepaid card from the ATM. I assume that charge some commission, I've never used it

    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.
