Here’s why (and thanks to my friend Bob who suggested I call him Mr. 47.20 and that it should be his uniform number).
It was the second game of the season. The Orioles were playing in Boston and I bet $20 on FanDuel on the Orioles to win. I would make a $27.20 profit. The Orioles had an 8-7 lead with 2 out in the bottom of the ninth. I am already thinking about what delivery meal I will get with my winnings. A Red Sox batter hits a fly ball to Ryan McKenna for what should be the last out. He drops it and the next batter hits a home run. The Red Sox win 9-8 and I don’t get my $47.20.
McKenna is primarily a defensive guy. We have better players in the minors which is where he should be.
Sad!
