Doug Fister's paying for your Christmas Eve Starbucks fix — while it lasts

Doug Fister's paying for your latte fix.

The former Detroit Tigers pitcher had one way of giving back to the fans on Christmas Eve, tweeting out a picture of the back of his Starbucks card, with the instructions of having fans tell their barista to scan the picture for a free drink. "Merry Christmas Eve! Have a Starbucks on us!" the tweet (below) read.

UPDATE: Apparently, Fister's fans moved swiftly. Later on, the Nationals pitcher tweeted out the following —

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.

Still a pretty cool gesture from one of the game's good guys.
