Padres’ Wil Myers buys about 100 drinks for fans at San Diego bar after NLDS win


For the first time since 1998, the San Diego Padres are playing in the NLCS, and the team’s longest-serving player made sure to take the opportunity to celebrate.

After the underdog Padres defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of an NLDS, Wil Myers and his wife went out on the town and stopped at a bar.

Myers was in such a festive mood that he decided to foot the bill for about 100 fans at the Social Tap near the Padres’ home stadium, Petco Park.
