Phillies fan loses bet, pays up when Rhys Hoskins homers

Share

Think you celebrate hard when Rhys Hoskins hits a homer? You’ve got nothing on this guy.

On April 7, Phillies fans Nick Capretti and Nick Gore made a bet. Capretti won.

While you may have thought it ended there, Rhys Hoskins hit two home runs on Monday night and Gore got a double dose of the boot.

A ritual popular in Australia, a “shoey” is when one removes their own shoe, or nominates a friend’s shoe, pours in a beer and chugs it. We love the enthusiasm for the Hoskins homer shoeys.

Here’s to you, Nick Gore, and a summer filled with boot beers. We just hope you’ve got a few pairs of clean socks.
