Sports news, commentary and rumors.

Do any of you remember the Seinfeld espisode, The Calzone?  In it Kramer paid back someone Jerry owned money to in Pennies!!  It was very funny.  Anyways it seems that Ken Griffey Jr. pulled the same stunt when he paid back some money he owed Cincinnati Reds teammate Josh Fogg, $1,500.

So when Fogg arrived in the Reds clubhouse Wednesday, he found his locker filled with 150,000 pennies. They were packed up in 60 boxes, each weighing around fifteen pounds and containing $25 worth of pennies.

Neither player would say why Griffey owed Fogg the money. Griffey had threatened to pay it off in pennies, but Fogg didn’t believe him. Rumor has it that it is from a beer chugging bet Fogg lost on their last road trip. “I’m going to take them out to the bullpen and count them,” Fogg said. “I’ve got a lot of time on my hands out there.”
