Watch: Buck Showalter says 'Seinfeld' cameo costs him money

Buck Showalter's "Seinfeld" cameo was one of the most memorable baseball-related moments on the '90s sitcom, but it's also been a drain on his bank account.
The Baltimore Orioles manager had to join the Screen Actors Guild to appear on the show and told MLB Network's "Hot Stove" on Tuesday that he still gets taxed every time a rerun of his episode, "The Chaperone," airs.
"By the time it's over, every time they show an episode it costs me $19 in taxes," he said.
Showalter added that he had no idea how popular the show was at the time, nor that it was making fun of his then-boss, George Steinbrenner.
