met Yadier Molina today....kinda. the guy I was working with has been there since 2001 and still can't speak much english. Apparently he really likes Molina and knows him, so he drove up when he saw some players on the back field and yelled MOLINA!!!!. Yadier waived and said something in Spanish. I'm counting it Saw the most interesting bar stool I've ever seen. It was made out of four Louisville Sluggers bats and a rim from Jason Isringhausen's SUV. Apparently when he left the team, it was left in the clubhouse and our regular crew dumpster dove for it. LOL. I'll have to get a pic, it's a site to behold. Came to the Realization that I will work around 170 games between spring training games and the 2 minor league teams that share the field. That's one helluva season Got two Team USA baseball "Staff" shirts from my boss. He found them in a box, brand new and asked if I wanted them. I'm always down for free stuff Saw the Cardinals throwing away an entire shopping cart and a full size trashcan of baseballs. If only I had somewhere to put them....... If they continue to have me work with Felix, I'll either come back in shape or die. Hoping once things settle down (it is the week leading up to the stadium's biggest event) that I will get to shadow the assistants, Head groundskeepers, GM, etc. I didn't move 18 hours from home to push a rake (for very little money). The same kids show up for autographs every day. Even as an auto hound, it makes me laugh on the inside when the players turn their nose up to these kids day after day. They are ruining it for other fans. A lot of the players were there today, it's getting close
