Astros' McCullers takes up rapper Paul Wall's free grillz offer
What first appeared to be a joke on Twitter between Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers and rapper Paul Wall is turning into a reality.
After the Astros advanced to the World Series, set to begin Tuesday in Los Angeles, Wall offered free grillz to the entire team on his dollar.

It's tough to tell if McCullers was kidding or serious, but he appeared to confirm the latter Tuesday, hours before Game 1.
