Cole Hamels was supposed to attend the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last year, but instead he flushed $70,000 down the toilet. That’s what the Texas Rangers pitcher claims in a lawsuit, at least.
According to the New York Daily News, Hamels is suing London-based promotion company Cornucopia Events over services he claims he never received. Hamels says he paid $70,000 for a trip for him and his wife that was supposed to include three VIP packages, and he received none of the perks.
The suit says the money was to cover a four-night stay in a luxury hotel, a limousine with champagne, access to exclusive restaurants and goodie bags. The suit alleges Hamels and his party got none of the perks and were denied entry to the event.
Hamels is seeking $150,000 in damages for fraud and misrepresentation.
Most of us wish we had $70,000 to our name, so that should give you an idea of the kind of life an MLB pitcher leads. That said, nobody likes throwing money away.
Did you see the smile on this former NFL coach’s face a couple years ago when he was at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show? We can certainly understand why Hamels is angry he missed out.
