Derek Jeter apparently used to be quite petty when it came to losing bets.
Former New York Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes offered some insight into his ex-teammate's habits while appearing on the latest episode of the "Pardon My Take" podcast.
"(Jeter) had this thing, he liked to do small little wagers every now and then. But he was such a competitor that if he lost, he would pay you pennies," Hughes said. "So it would be like a hundred bucks on something stupid - a college football game that's going on or something - and if he lost, he would literally have a bag of pennies the next day. But it wasn't a dollar, it was a hundred bucks. That's a lot of pennies.
"He probably had to send someone to a bank and (make) a special request (to) pay you in pennies."
Hughes, now with the San Diego Padres, played for the Yankees from 2007-13.
