Gaylord Perry @ Fan Fest

Just got out of the Gaylord Perry line. As always Gaylord was great…joking around with everyone, taking pictures with his fans, etc.

Luis Aparicio at Fan Fest

We waited for about 50 minutes in line to see Luis Aparicio at Fan Fest. Halfway through the line we got word that Luis changed his mind about inscriptions and would not be doing them. We got up to meet Luis and he could not have been less enthusiastic about being there. I hate being critical, but what a disappointment….he wouldn’t even made eye contact.

Random Big Hurt sighting in Phoenix

We left Baltimore early this morning en route to the All Star game in Phoenix. We had a connecting flight in Chicago. While we were waiting in line I turned around and standing there was Frank Thomas. I did have a few baseballs with me, but no pen. I was hoping I could find a pen before we landed in Phoenix. When we got off the plane, Frank was happy to sign a ball for my son. He even added the AL MVP without me even asking. My son is going to love this one.
