Washington Nationals left fielder Steven Souza joked after saving Jordan Zimmermann’s season-ending no-hitter that the pitcher owed him a BMW. According to a story on Yahoo! Sports’ Big League Stew page, the present was slightly more reserved.

Zimmermann actually gave Souza a Best Buy gift certificate of undisclosed value.

I wonder what Johan Santana gave Mike Baxter for the no-no saving catch that landed Baxter on the DL. That 2012 grab has to be worth more than a Best Buy card.
