NICE JOB!!!!!!!!
You never know who will be at the game until you get there.

Minorleaguetraveller

Thanks! yep, it was a neat experience

mets4ever

Thats true, i once went to a Mets ST game and i heard a an usher say Tommy Lassorda was there, so i was able to chase him down and get him. Great Success, do you know why he was there?

Minorleaguetraveller

Thanks! Lasorda is a great pick up too.
Yep, he was there to watch Ian Kennedy pitch (Ian pitched awesome)
Ian had a no-no into the 6th and pitched 7.1 inn of shutout ball
pulled probably because of pitch count.

Did Melancon personalize because you asked him or did he ask you?

cubs17

I am pretty sure he personalizes everything

Minorleaguetraveller

Yep, he personalizes.
Very nice and polite about it.
"hey how is it going?"
"where are you from"
"what's your name?"

those 3 questions takes care of it.
