This is hilarious. What a boss move! Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington recently told an amusing story about a time in 2011 when he was fined $100 after getting ejected from a game during spring training and then the league doubled the fine after he refused to leave the dugout. So how did he pay for that fine?! With 20,000 pennies — and the story gets even better (the shipping part). Check it out…

From the Star-Telegram:
Washington responded by filling a box with $200 in pennies and mailing it to Bob Watson, MLB vice president in charge of discipline. Cost to mail it to New York: About $45.
Watson called after receiving the box.
Watson: “And you just had $200 in pennies hanging around? Washington: “Yes. Bob, I didn’t have my checkbook. I wasn’t trying to be funny. Now go to the bank and put that in the [change] machine and get your $200.”
