Washington Nationals’ Doug Fister was feeling the Christmas spirit on Xmas Eve. The pitcher offered up a Starbucks gift card to his twitter followers to have a cup of joe on him. Anticipating that some might take advantage of such a generous offer, he asked his fans not to be a Grinch and only use the barcode once.
Fister is definitely not hurting for cash, pulling in 7.2 million in 2014. Regardless of his wealth, he showed himself to be a real class act. Way to go Doug.

Update: Word about Fister’s generosity spread quick and the card was emptied within three hours of his tweet. He followed up saying the gift card was meant to be on a first come, first served basis.
