Houston Astros player Justin Verlander revealed he was charged a hefty price Friday for his "World Series win" last year, a cool $1,000,000.
The MLB pitcher shared a photo on Twitter of his check from a restaurant at The Beverly Hills Hotel in California, in which a “miscellaneous” charge for being a “Dodger Killer” was listed alongside various menu items.
“#BeverlyHillsHotel really making me pay for that World Series win,” Verlander joked, adding two laughing emojis.

The Houston Astros scored themselves a World Series championship in the 2017 season, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7, 5-1.
