Andrew Vaughn will likely never have to pay for a drink in Milwaukee again after hitting the go-ahead and eventual game-winning home run in Game 5 of the NLDS. Depending on the neighborhood in Chicago, he will still be expected to pay full price plus kick in a 25% tip. His fourth-inning home run broke […]
