Astros pitcher Justin Verlander pranked with $1M lunch bill for being a 'Dodger killer'


Los Angeles Dodgers fans still have not forgiven Justin Verlander.

Verlander, in Anaheim, Calif. with the Houston Astros to play a series against the Los Angeles Angels this weekend, was handed a hefty lunch bill at the Cabana Cafe in the Beverly Hills Hotel. 

He was charged $1,000,000 for being a "Dodger Killer," in reference to the Astros defeating the Dodgers in the World Series last October. 

Truth be told though, Verlander was 0-1 in two starts against the Dodgers, but no one will remember that. 

Who was Verlander's lunch companion? None other than former tennis star and Olympic silver medalist Mardy Fish.
