Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is doing his part to give back to the citizens of the Houston Texas region by first opening a You Tube channel where his fans get to know him better when he is not playing baseball.
I am sure that when Alex started to share his off the field work during the off season, he does not do it to gain some free good publicity by showing his fans that he cares for the people in the Houston area who pay his salary what critics call “Grown men playing a kids game.”
Last week Alex and a few of his friends went to The Moonshiners restaurant, he asked the manager of the restaurant if anyone needed some money due to the circumstances out of their control as he and his friends sat down at a table.
The manager of the restaurant mentioned to Alex that a waitress named Jordan Thompson had the misfortune of having someone broke into her auto earlier that same morning.
It seems to be a trend that a person who has wealth will videotape an act of buying a drink then tip the waiter or waitress a huge tip for their outstanding service.
When Alex finished his iced tea and water, he left Jordan a tip of $500 dollars as his way of assisting her overcome her money problem of how to repair the damage to her auto that was broken into that same day.
To put it mildly, Jordan cried tears of joy when she received the tip from the Astros third baseman who is a regional baseball star doing his part to follow the principal of being a cheerful giver to people in need without making a huge deal to impress other people what a good person they are.
Showing off your money in public is very dangerous since a crook might hold him up to “borrow” his money.
yeah, this seems more like self promotion to me. not that the waitress cares…
That I am thinking since I am afraid that someone sees Bregman as an easy target to get robbed for his money by a thug.
it isn’t like they didn’t know he was rich before the video…
That is true. I am just concerned that he is looking for trouble flashing his wealth as a way to gain fans since there might be a phony story of a person who is broke like that story of the couple that faked being homeless in Philadelphia.
it doesn’t seem like a good idea, does it?
That is true since if Alex Bregman wants to do a good deed, do it secretly.
Sometimes it would be nice if acts for kindness remained and secret, don’t you think?
I agree with you since God’s Word says to do our good deeds quietly and we will be rewarded in due time. Some sports stars like to be noticed that they are good guys and not greedy hogs.
