I've met Chris Reitsma a number of times, and he coaches the school that I'm going to next years baseball program so I'll get to know him more. Also I know a ton of WHL players, and players who just got drafted in the WHL Bantam Draft...but let's get real, if you live in Canada who doesn't?


EDIT: Just went back and read the thread...wow I'm good

Oh yea, and Matt Stairs is one of my friends uncle.

Don't really have a relative in sports. But I'll tell you a story:

I went to the All - Star Parade in New York a few years back. Me and my brother threw the players balls to sign. One of the balls hit Hanley Ramirez's car and his friend got mad and threw the ball back. We never found it. After like, and hour or so, we (mom and brother) thought the parade had ended. But 15 minutes later, Brandon Webb, Dan Haren, Pujols, and others came. I don't who exactly did it (Probably Utley or Lidge), but I asked them for an autograph, and he told me "No autographs for Mets fans". *****. Then Brandon Webb comes and my mom asks him why they were late. "We lost our way", he said. I'll always remember that day.
