When he pitched his first no-hitter, Mark Buehrle purchased watches for all of his teammates and coaches as a “thank you” gift for being a part of his moment. After pitching the 18th perfect game in MLB history last Thursday, Buehrle took the time to get another gift for his teammates, this time purchasing each of them a specially packaged bottle of Crown Royal XR.
Each bottle came with embroidery on the velvet pouch saying “Thank you,” the players name, Mark Buerhle Perfect Game and July 23, 2009. Pretty neat!
That said, DeWayne Wise who made one of the best catches of the year, let alone the best catch ever to preserve a perfect game, just gets a bottle of liquor just like everyone else. C’mon Buehrle, you have a $56 million contract, let’s throw something a bit more impressive at DeWayne than just a $140 bottle of liquor, he saved your perfecto! Buy him a car or something, I mean, REALLY!

without dewayne, that perfect game wouldn’t have existed. He needs to step it up. also, $140? That’s it? get me some Evan Williams 23 year old Bourbon ($350). sooooo much nicer…
seriously, he needs to buy dewayne wise something DOPE or maybe just put his kids through college or something.
