Fowler Walks For Cause, Donates Hits To Charity

Fowler went 0 for 3 against the Yanks on Wednesday night, collecting one walk.

Spin:

The only part of a baseball uniform more classic than Yankee pinstripes is when Dexter Fowler wears his walking shoes. Because like Yankee pinstripes, Fowler's walking shoes means someone's getting paid. On a chilly night in Denver, Fowler decided to walk for other Major League hitters last night. So instead of going his usual 4 for 4 with two doubles and a homer, Fowler walked in one at-bat to show his support for struggling Major League hitters everywhere and then donated the three hits he would have collected in his other at-bats to the Major League Hitting Fund - two of which went directly to Dan Uggla. This display of pure generosity is perhaps the one "drawback" to having Fowler on your fantasy team as there will be nights scattered throughout the season in which he decides to donate his hits to charity - two of which will probably always go to Dan Uggla.
