Meet pitcher Matt White. He has an 0-2 career record. But what's special about him is that in 2007 he bought a piece of land for $50,000 to build his house. But the ground was too hard. He comes to find out that the land he'd just bought was sitting on top of 2.5 billion dollars worth of stone over 400 million years old.

It didn't turn out to be quite the mother load originally thought, but still a cool story. I just hope the Aunt was taken care of.
