Ex-Rangers Pitcher Says Tim Lincecum Paid Him $1K To Drink Jug Of Salad Dressing
Rangers' Tyler Wagner Tim Lincecum Paid Me $1K To Drink Jug Of Salad Dressing!!!
Would you slam a vat of Italian dressing for $1,000!?!
That's a question Tim Lincecum apparently asked one of his teammates back in 2018 ... and, according to the salad-topping drinker, the answer was YES!!!
Tyler Wagner -- a former Texas Rangers pitcher -- revealed the story on social media late Thursday night ... and it's hilarious, mostly because he provided photographic proof that it all went down!
Throwback Thursday story time:

In 2018 Tim Lincecum bet me $1,000 I wouldn’t drink a container of Italian dressing before the game. Think I did it? 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/RhKA6COd5m
Wagner says when he and Lincecum were teammates in Texas about three years ago ... the two-time Cy Young winner bet him a grand that he wouldn't drink the leftover dressing that came with the team's salad.
Turns out, Lincecum clearly underestimated Wagner's love of cash ... 'cause the guy threw it back like a shot of tequila!
The pics are laugh out loud funny, especially the post-drink one ... 'cause you can tell, Wagner was bragging to all his clubhouse mates about the gross (and impressive!) feat.
Wagner even provided a pic of the check Lincecum cut him to prove the guy paid up!
And, get this, Wagner says Lincecum threw in an EXTRA $250 on top of the $1,000, because, "he said just because it was rough to watch."
Amazing.
