newsweek.com

Boston Red Sox pitcher Walker Buehler played a prank on rookie Roman Anthony during spring training by sending him to Starbucks for 76 coffee orders. This included drinks for everyone at the team's camp in Fort Myers, Florida. Anthony, with help from fellow rookie Marcelo Mayer, prepared for the task by informing the Starbucks manager the night before and waking up early to complete the order. The closest Starbucks is six miles from the training facility. Buehler, who signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox in December, continues the tradition of veterans pranking rookies, a common practice in Major League Baseball.
