Day #2 in St. Louis was a success. I got Andy Richter’s autograph, got to give Nelly a high five, and witness Shawn Johnson do a couple of backflips. Sick.
Also among these celebrities, were legends of the game like Ernie Banks, Ozzie Smith, Tommy John, Dave Winfield, Fred Lynn, Goose Gossage, and Rollie Fingers. All of these people competed on two teams headed by ESPN’s Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg. The game will be seen on Monday night after the Home Run Derby.
Spoiler alert: Greeny’s team wins, Shawn Johnson is hot, Nelly does something amazing, and someone falls on the fence and knocks it down. As Jim Rome would say, phe-nominal. Ri-diculous. A-rugala.
The only bad part of this game was that there was some woman who would routinely hold a sign up intended Office star Jenna Fischer. She would hold it up at the most random times, too. Like, Fischer wasn't even batting or in the field, and the woman holds it up blocking my view. I wasn't the only one who was getting pissed about it. Someone near me said, "Is it wrong that i want to just rip that sign to pieces and then just walk away?"
Pics will be up soon on a tiny website that I feel could have a chance, called facebook.com.
Before the legends/celebs game was the Futures game. I got a boatload of pics of Phillies prospect Kyle Drabek, and a lot of the stadium in general. I had the time to do so, because, oh yeah, there was a 3 hour rain delay in the middle of it. They had to shorten the game to 7 innings to either get to the celebs game quicker, or because Shawn Johnson had a curfew (she is, as was pointed out to a man behind me, “only 17”).
Up tomorrow: Fanfest, Arch tour, and maybe Home Run Derby?
