Saturday Morning Surfing found me reading this article How an Astros player helped high-school kids have a cool World Series celebration .
So an 11th grade High School History Teacher who is an Astro Super fan in the heart of Ranger country told his students he would buy pizza if the Astros won the World Series !
LAST FRIDAY
Back when the Astros were slumping midseason, Yasko — who runs AstrosCounty.comand a fun Twitter account of the same name — told the students in his AP history class he’d buy everyone pizza if the Astros won the World Series.
Well, pizza day came and he sent out a tweet about it, joking to the Astros: “That’ll be $54, guys.”
The teacher wasn’t expecting to get a reply, but he was going to give his class a pizza party. Turns out the students are mostly from families who use the school lunch programs. So this makes the story that much better !
“I was messing around on Twitter,” Yasko told Yahoo Sports this week. “I wasn’t serious. It’s not like I missed my mortgage because I had to spend $50 on pizza. I was looking for the retweets and likes. I just wanted something funny on Twitter.”
It was fun, so the tweet spread around a bit. That’s when White’s girlfriend Alli saw it and pointed it out to him. So White replied with two simple words that immediately gained him massive credibility with Astros fans: “Got Venmo?”

“I just saw the tweet and thought it would pretty cool if I offered to pay,” White told Yahoo Sports. “I just thought it was a nice and fun gesture.”
So I guess if you want to know all the facts you need to go read the whole story !
I’ve probably already got the contents Nazi’s on my case !
