"Mr. Brett! Mr. Brett! Throw me the ball! Throw me the ball!"

7 year old Hootie 2.0 says!!!

Well around the 4th inning...after hearing annoying 7 year old Hootie 2.0 keep BEGGING FOR A BALL...

Hootie 2.0 thinks, once again, he's ignored...

However, Mr. Brett, who is a hall of famer (did I mention)...he is smart enough not to throw a baseball 80 feet and hit a 7 year old in the face...

He PERFECTLY bounces a ball off the (whatever looks like a warning track all around the field I'm drunk right now who knows)...so it bounces up and would land directly in my glove...

however, Hootie 2.0 just assumed he was throwing it right in the dugout...so the ball hits 7 year old Hootie 2.0 right in the face...and then all of the other kids BEGGING for said ball scramble for it...but the cute 21 (I assume) year old usher speaks up and says, "NO! THAT BALL WAS THROWN TO HOOTIE 2.0. IT'S HIS BALL." And she makes whoever retrieved it give me said ball. No joke. That's a real story.

And that is 7 year old HOOTIE 2.0's story about George Brett throwing him a ball without even knowing who George Brett was or what George Brett was going to someday mean to him.

Incredible.

That old warning track was like a rock. This at least explains most of your posts though.

I agree with the Frank White sentiment. That would just be tits.

Or...
Paul Splittorff's family.
Dick Howser's family.
Dan Quisenberry's family.

Sung Woo parachuting from a helicopter.
Hootie 2.0 catching one with his face from GFHB.

Or how about this....Jeffrey Maier.

Another true story.

Hootie 2.0 grew up a Ken Griffey, Jr. diehard. To the point where his number was always #24.

Well, the Kingdome had that "THE ROOF IS FALLING!" issue when Hootie 2.0 was like, I don't know, 9 or 10?!?! So, the Mariners had to come play home games at the K when Hootie 2.0 was a very young boy.

Well, pops, being a supportive father (can you believe I turned out this way in a 2 parent family?!) bought tickets to said games on the HOME DUGOUT (the Mariners) so Hootie 2.0 could score a Griffey, Jr. autograph.

well, the ****ing prick doesn't sign the entire series

so...

Hootie 2.0 lines up behind THE UNIT...he's a young kid, so young kids are hard to get mad at

he's signing, and signing, and singing...Hootie 2.0 is trying, and trying and trying

Mr. Big Unit says "last one!" and Hootie 2.0, being the stubborn, insufferable prick that he is...

decides, nah...and rolls his JEFF MONTGOMERY GIVEN BALL right down that dugout and hits Mr. Big Unit as he's walking away

Mr. Big Unit, very annoyed after getting hit on the head with a ball...turns around, most likely to try and get angry...

realizes it's a 8 or 9 year old kid...begrudgingly shakes his head, borrows a sharpie from a kid who has already gotten an autograph, signs the Montgomery issued ball, and hands it to Hootie 2.0

****in' Mr. Big Unit! What a guy!

Oh, and...20 years later! **** you Griffey! What a dick. Literally went to all 3 games with one agenda is a little kid and you signed ZERO AUTOGRAPHS.

I actually wonder if it might be Saberhagen though. He was in the house tonight.

Frank white story

I coached little league baseball for 10 years. I got a call from the league office if I would add a kid to my team. The parent had heard that our team believed in positive reinforcement and the best players played. They wanted to get on my team. No tryout, no names or even what their level of play was. I said no. A couple of days later a coach asked me why I turned down Frank Whites kid on my team? I had no clue it was Frank Whites kid.

I called the league the next morning and Frank Whites kid was on our team. He had no talent but was a fantastic teammate and a great kid. Of course I told Frank he was welcome to help with the team, work with his son any time. He said he would be a distraction and wanted the kids to be the focus. He did teach me one fun drill to practice fundamentals,

He came came to about 80% of the games. Usually he stayed in the background but still cheered like any other parent. Brought snacks like every parent, was nice to people who recognize him but when it became a distraction, he would go to his car. I told him to come to the dugout if people bugged him too much. He never did.

He was as nice as he could be. Great parent to have on the team.

Hootie · 10-14-2014, 10:25 PM

The first game I ever attended at The K...

I was 4 years old...we sat on the home dugout, per usual...back when they still had ****ing turf...miserable outside

barely remember

but pops always encouraged me to be Hootie 2.0

and I keep yelling, and yelling, and yelling

"Mr. Mr., THROW ME A BALL! THROW ME A BALL!"

I'm 4.

Finally...a player (no idea who)...comes over...says, "hey kid! can you catch?"

Me:

"Uhm no! But my sister can!"

Tosses a ball to my sister.

First game ever. 4 years old. 1990. 1 for 1.

I got so many balls it was sickening. We always sucked when I was a kid but they were always generous.

Oh. Don't worry man. When I was 12 and in little league. I brought the "big unit" ball with me to play catch. This, again, is not a joke. Muddy outside. Buddy chucks it to me on a hop, gets it all muddy...

I say, "**** it!"

Chuck it into the woods. 1997. No joke.

He was like..."wtf!"

Just never really cared about autographs. What do they mean? I stood next to my favorite football player in the world as a 14 year old (Tony Gonzalez) at the airport wearing a Gonzalez jersey...I never acknowledged him, and he surely didn't give a **** about me. Valueless.

The memories mean something. Getting the signatures? Nah. I'll never encourage my kids (if that happens) to get those. Watching the games and remembering THESE MOMENTS are what counts.

I'll never forget THIS TEAM for the rest of my life.
