karina said...: Last season, after the game i was waiting for my friend to come back from the restroom (lines are ridiculously long), i ran into the guy in charge of the music in the stadium,he was talking with a teenage boy, he introduces to each other and then he says "she's the founding member of the Carlos Gonzalez's fan club). I corrected him "i'm not the only one, it's also a X,Y and Z thing".
Teenage boy said "he's my cousin". I was like, really?. Then he says his cousin would love to hear about it and i was like i'd be embarrassed if he knew about it. Boy says "look he's just out from the clubhouse, wait here", i said it wasn't necessary, besides i had to look for my friend. His cousin was like "he doesn't bite" and the other guy i know told me to stay quiet.
So his cousin approached us with Carlos Gonzalez, says "she's the president of your fan club", i had to correct him but Gonzalez was very gracious "i kinda know who you are, you're the girl who comes to every game, stays quiet, listening to the game on the radio and sometimes you are scoreboarding the game, you really must love baseball"
Oh well, yes i do (i only could think this is one of my favorite baseball players talking to me, he's noticed me? how? i'm invisible!), telling him we "founded the club" because he's so good and we wanted him to have a long career with the team.
Then Gonzalez says one of his favorite parts of the game is to play for fans like me (i was freaking out), he shakes my hand, what's your name and all that, then he said "it's an honor to meet you, karina"
"It's an honor to meet you too, Sir". Then he laughed, "don't call me Sir"
With all my courage, i asked him if he could sign a ball for my older brother, who is a bigger fan than me and he was like "where's your brother", he lives abroad, "don't you have a ball for yourself ?", not really i'm shy to ask for signatures for a couple of balls and i can come to every game while my brother is very far way so a signed ball is all he can get, "where does he live?", Australia, "oh i see"
Thank you very much! Good night, Sir
"don't call me Sir" Good night to you, karina (he said my name again!). "Wait" and told his cousin to give me a rubber black bracelet with his name.
Next day, he sent me a signed ball with an clubhouse employee. X, Y and Z were jealous but i told them they didn't meet him because they didn't attended the game. They said it is one of the perks of being a young woman on a men's world, i said it was being in the right place, at the right moment.; 10/03/2009 8:43 PM
