It’s easy to slip into negativity and frustration amid the coronavirus pandemic. But Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer managed to spin a negative into a positive on Saturday.
When Bauer realized ESPN accidentally leaked his phone number to the public, he decided to have fun with what he called a “massive screw up.” He announced on Twitter he was going to hold a giveaway, and he put the rules for the contest in his voicemail. Fans could call him and find out what they had to do to land his signed cleats and an autographed baseball during the 48 hours which followed his announcement on Twitter on Saturday.
