Anthony Reckeraments

Tied 6-6 in the top of the 13th inning against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, New York Mets catcher Anthony Recker stepped to the plate. At the time, Recker had eight career home runs in a little over 200 at bats, and seconds later he hit number nine, crushing a ball off of Matt Shoemaker to propel the Mets to a 7-6 victory.
Little did he know, Recker also launched Jonathan Tamayo into the $15,400 buy-in WPT World Championship thanks to a satellite on DraftKings.
@Anthony_Recker You are the man, I might have to buy you dinner one day in NYC https://t.co/eYihQE1f6ZFollow @driverseati
An extra innings home run by 0.9% owned Anthony Recker delivered @driverseati $25,000 and a @WPT Championship Package http://t.co/cvmjb268ZuFollow @DraftKings
Less than one percent of DraftKings players picked Recker to represent their team, but Tamayo was one of them.
Tamayo already has over $1.1 million in career live tournament earnings and if he can parlay his fantasy baseball run into a deep run here, he has a chance to double that.
