Oliver Baumann donates 500 litres of beer to Hoffenheim fans
In honour of making his 500th Bundesliga appearance, Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann donated 500 litres of beer to the club's fans following the team's 3-0 victory over Augsburg on Saturday.
Baumann actually made his 500th top-flight outing last week in his side's 1-1 draw against Mainz, but as the team played away from home, celebrations were postponed for a few days.
The Germany international's incredible achievement was recognised on Matchday 12, however, prior to his 501st outing as Hoffenheim cruised past Augsburg.

After the final whistle, Baumann climbed into the terraces to celebrate with the fans - and he had an extra treat for them later.
Outside the stadium a special tent was erected, and the 35-year-old paid a visit to the fans gathered there, donating 500 litres of beer as a way of marking his milestone appearance.
“I can’t drink anything but there’s a little something for you," he said. "500 litres of beer as my way of saying thank you for all your support over the years, like at home today but also away. Let loose!”
