I still have my Little League glove somewhere

Vonnegut

Now that's something worth having.
I didn't really love Palm Sunday though. Did you meet him? Why'd you have him sign that?

Yes, I met him. He spoke at NYU

while I was a student there. Palm Sunday was his latest book and I was reading it at the time.

That's so cool

All I've got are a bunch of poets no one in the 'real world' has ever heard of... WD Snodgrass, Billy Collins, Andrea Gibson, Katie Wirsing, Ishle Yu Park, Regie Cabico, etc...

I also met Joseph Heller and he

signed my copy of "God Knows". That's what you get for not carrying around a copy of Catch-22 all the time.

Wow where to start

I have Don Larson, Mickey Mantle, Yogi, Sparky Lyle, Phil Rizzutto, Moose Skowron, Whitey Ford, ron Guidry, Graig Nettles, Goose Gossage, Tommy John, Don Mattingly, Dennis Eckersly, Andy Pettite, Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield, Roger Clemens, Joe Torre, David Cone, Doc Gooden, Aaron Small. I also have an autographed Pete Rose bat, and a Reggie Jackson bat autographed by him, burt hooten, elias sosa, charlie hough.

A picture right after Cone's no hitter signed bu girardi and cone. A picture of mantle, maris, and joe pepitone autogrpahed by pep. I almost forgot David Wells, Jim Leyland, Mel Stottlemeyer, Don Zimmer, Hank Bauer, Stick Michael, Fritz Peterson. I think that is it, there may be a few more. But I am having a hard time keeping track of them all.

how did you like

Fenway? where did you sit?

by beantownbosoxh8er on Aug 26, 2007 10:35 AM EDT up reply actions

I hated fenway

It's really kind of a bias thing, though. I sat in the outfield "bleachers" (really just really small old wooden seats), right below the big scoreboard with "John Hancock" on it. Pretty bad seats. I did find Fenway very crowded...moreso than Yankee Stadium.

Drunk assholes-free seats at Fenway

You think there are as many as three?

Hey MG,

do you have tickets to Wednesdays games that are not expensive, but not in the bleachers, and next to homeplate for $20 a ticket?

I am thinking of mailing one of the twins

shit-filled diapers to Eric Duncan to get him to autograph it.

I have a few cal ripken jr signed balls

from when I used to go to orioles spring training. They aren't worth much because he used to sign for anyone that wanted one, but it was a cool memory. He would work his way around the entire stadium signing autographs for anyone that wants one. It was great.

Autographs I wish I had (and probably could have had) are Robbie Cano and Chien Ming Wang when they were in my minor league stadium. And I really wish I had noticed Johan Santana when he played in my home town for 2 years... Its hard to know who I should try and get when they are still in A ball.

Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f*** the prom queen.
