BJ Upton had a big day yesterday, hitting three home runs for the first time in his career. But not all was great for Upton. At one point, he lost his wallet after it fell out of his truck. But things are going so well for Upton right now, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the wallet story also has a happy ending.
The gentleman that found it knew Upton was on Twitter, so he sent him a message, and Bossman saw it…
@bjupton2 I found your wallet. Hit me back and we can find a way to get it to you.

finally
a use for twitter other than to sustain sports journalism
Who said BJ was cheap..he gave the guy a bat he gets for free,
he could have paid his way to Hancock Bank for next game…
See the big smile on the guys face? Thats called a happy fan. The bat made him happy.
Didn’t those 3 homers last night just grind your gears?
Ever consider trying prozac?
I loved Bj hitting 3 hrs..his agent kept ringing the free agent bell, and Stuie and Friedman keep saying “we just can’t afford this, you understand Rays Fan, Dont you?”
