Having led Birmingham to pay the victory line against the resilient Hartford Yard Goats, Max Scherzer decided to fetch the headlines with his heartwarming gesture towards his teammates. Following the MOM performance, the 37-year-old shelled out for a post-game feast.

However, this wasn’t a usual major leaguer star-taking his minors out-sort of an occasion as Scherzer decided to take this gesture above and beyond. “They’re eating well tonight,” Scherzer said to the media after his start as quoted by ClutchPoints.

To be precise Max Scherzer bought a lot of food including bone-in ribeye, filet mignon, and salmon amongst other lavish cuisines and dishes. As per certain reports, the cost of this highly emphatic meal cost the future Hall of Famer more than $7,000. Fans would be aware that previously Max Scherzer went out to buy AirPods for all of his Rumbke Ponies’ teammates following his first rehab start. So this only goes on to show what a big heart this 37-year-old Mets star has.

“He bought everyone AirPods,” a source around the team told Dox Sports. “We walk in and there’s a club he just handing out AirPods saying they are from Max.”
