Fan Offers Cash Reward To Angels Torii Hunter During Game At Yankee Stadium

Los Angeles Angels rightfielder, Torii Hunter picked up a pair of glasses that fell onto the field at Yankee Stadium during last night's game, and handed them back to the man in the stands who then dangles a ten-dollar bill at the player as a reward.  If it was a bribe for something, it was way too small.


The funny exchange took place during the bottom of the fourth inning of the Yankees/Angels game after Nick Swisher jacked a long fly ball that headed towards the man and what looks like his family (they're all wearing the same type of brand-new Yankees gear).

Hunter catches the ball but also catches a glimpse of the glasses below the right-field stands where the man is hanging over the rail.

Hunter hands the the specs back to the guy, but refuses to take the bill as a reward.

Does this guy know that Hunter is in the fourth year of a five-year, $90 million contract?

Anyway, ten bucks won't even get you a beer and a hot dog in the House That Ruth Built.

If the guy was trying to bribe him to drop the next ball, the Angels won, 6-4.
