David Bednar was among the MLB All-Star snubs after rosters were announced on Sunday.
The Pittsburgh Pirates closer is having one heck of a season, but it turns out he’ll actually be joining the rest of the league’s best in Seattle because Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is injured.
With the Dodgers and Pirates playing on Tuesday, Bednar did the classiest thing: He put some Iron City Lights in a cooler and left a note: “Mr. Kershaw, Pittsburgh’s finest beer! Enjoy!”
How nice is that? The nicest. A class act right there. I’m sure Kershaw was grateful for the gesture.
David Bednar replaced Clayton Kershaw on the All-Star roster so he left some beer for Clayton in the Dodgers dugout
