Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester dropped a ton of money on Miller Lite over the weekend.
Lester recently announced that he was going to pick up the tab at a few Chicago restaurants for people drinking some Miller Lite after the Cubs declined his option. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Lester through 6 innings of Miller Lite purchases this weekend $32,606. Very impressive. Excited to see data for innings 7-9 on Sunday. How much did the weather impact his performance? @JLester34 pic.twitter.com/xMku6smrgW

This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen an athlete do in a long time. You can tell Lester really loves the supportive fans in Chicago.
I mean, how many athletes would drop more than $32,500 on people they don’t even know? The answer is not many at all.

Who knows where Lester will land or if he’ll stick around with the Cubs. Either way, he’s forever a legend in the city of Chicago after picking up all those Miller Lites.
Props to him for the 100% pure class move.
