That is incredibly nice of Doug Fister! And you get the added gift of explaining to the barista that "no, this wasn't a gift from a family member. A pitcher for the Nationals got this for me. No we don't know each other. His name is Doug Fister. Yes, Fister. Yes, that's pretty funny but can I have my drink."
Well, not anymore. Coffee On Fister has ended:
Sorry for the misunderstanding. The gift card was meant as a first come, first serve until the amount ran out, just a little holiday gift.

I don't see many angry replies to the initial tweet, but I guess some people thought Doug Fister would buy them coffee FOREVER and are now disappointed. I'm curious how much it was ...
