Brewers catcher Erik Kratz has become a postseason sensation on and off the field.
He’s gotten attention from the national baseball pundits, including ESPN’s Buster Olney, who resurfaced footage of Katz’s not-so-graceful moments, that turned out to be profitable for him.
The footage is from Opening Day 2016, when Kratz was a member of the Houston Astros.
“Heard a classic story about the highly respected and greatly appreciated Erik Kratz today: When the Astros went through Opening Day intros in 2016, an Astro offered $1,000 to anybody who would do a face plant. Kratz: I'll do it. And this is what followed:” Olney tweeted.

Kratz replied the bet was actually for $2,000, “But I would’ve done it for $250.”
Let’s hope Kratz stays on his feet for the rest of this NLCS, and helps take this 2018 Brew Crew to the World Series!
