| Re: SPRING TRAINING 08 I'm actually going to go to the Blue Jays park in Dunedin, just outside of Tampa Bay. Then I'll swing through Lakeland.
I went to Lakeland when I was 8 years old, just after they won the WS. I was sort of shocked when my boyhood idol, Lou Whitaker, decided not to sign any autographs after the game and sprinted to his car (corvette I think) with a bunch of us chasing him. That is when I realized that pro athletes are just like regular people, but meaner. |
