Trevor Bauer Is Making the World’s First Charitable 69 Joke

Trevor Bauer, the Indians pitcher and Extremely Online Person, is going to spend the next two-plus months making a very philanthropic 69/420 joke.

Bauer announced Wednesday (in a 69-second video) that he’s launching a charitable campaign called “69 Days of Giving” during which he’ll make 68 donations of $420.69 and one contribution of $69,420.69.

Bauer’s passion for the sex number and the weed number is so great that he wanted to file for a salary of either $6.9 million or $6,420,969.69 in arbitration this year, Yahoo’s Jeff Passan reports. Less sophomoric minds prevailed, though, and Bauer ended up filing at $6,525,000.
