whats up becketters!

went to the cards game yesterday and they do a promotion like 3 times a year called "Jerseys off their Backs" where you can buy scratch off's for charity where the grand prize is, well, winning their jersey off their back. i bought a couple just because everyones a winner and have good coupons for local business. but one of my two tickets were a WINNER!!!!!!

during the 7th, i had to meet up with the cardinals staff, taken underneath the stadium through the tunnels, past the clubhouses into a little conference room. their we randomized which player we were getting. mid 9th, they took us back out to the green seats (right behind home plate) to stand to finish watching the game (we won too) and right after it was over got to run out onto the field and line up on the 1st base line where the players came up to us, gave us their jerseys and signed them.

Phreakin' awesome!

Neshek is cool. He has (had) his own website where you mail your cards to him and he'd sign them and send him back. I sent him two that I had back in 2007 and he sent them both right back signed along with another signed card that I didn't have.

seemed like a pretty straight up kinda guy. talked to him briefly while signing about his delivery and he said it hurts to throw like that. also, his personal life has been pretty well documented with some very sad news, but he stays strong.

That's very cool, and it's sweet that your team won...even if I am a Cubs fan. Congratulations!
