GameStop CEO Owes $26,000 Worth Of Gift Cards To The Texas Rangers, And Here's Why

GameStop's CEO, Ryan Cohen, is on the hook to give every member of the Texas Rangers a $1,000 gift card to the retailer following the team's World Series victory on Wednesday.

But why? On Halloween, Cohen said he would give every player on the squad a gift card if the Rangers won the World Series, and now they have. GameStop is based in Texas, so it's no surprise that Cohen was rooting for the home team and not the Arizona Diamondbacks.
