aaarrghh, Jungle Boogie stuck in head.......evil. must stop
Ali, was that you on the Morning Show yesterday talking about baseball autographs and Benito Santiago?
It was, I called her on her cell right after.
Ali, we need an Opening Day briefing from you!
I went last night, but not much encouraging to report: game sucked, bullpen SUCKED, fireworks sucked (really--I expected much better--half of them were behind the scoreboard). Oh, and Jeff Kent is still a weenie. But we knew that.
Ali, what'd you say about Benito & autographs?
Why did they switch the game time from 6 to 7pm at the last minute?
Kent, small weenie, yeah..... Opening Day was SPLENDID. Could not have asked for better. Great weather, great friends, great game, expensive beer (only could afford to buy one).
I was at a game with my son a few years back. Went down by the Giants dugout where players sign autographs before the game. Andres Gallaraga was great, other players (I forget who, some young pitcher, maybe Foppert) were great. I have the magazine with their authographs. Benito was walking by and I hollered nicely at him and waved his San Diego card for him to sign. He would not look at me. I KNOW he heard me, I don't have a little voice. So, I yelled in Spanish. He totally ignored me. Another weenie.
Two years ago I went to a benefit lunch for one of the Giants funds and everyone was there. My fave was Rich Aurilia. I think I posted the pix here afterwards. He posed and signed everything. Magazine, card, ball. I treasure those. Yum yum. Later that season during a game, Rich was at bat, I was hooting and hollering with a girlfriend up in Club level, a little to the left of home and yelled HEY RICH, REMEMBER ME? The whole damn section turned and looked at me. Hilarious!
I heard Barry even signed for kids yesterday.
