OK well I think I may have created a MONSTER

My son turned 9 on 6/10. We went to the Royals game to celebrate and the same player who gave me my first game used bat, handed my son up one from the dugout for his special day. So we each got our first game used piece from Jeff Francoeur. He's such a nice guy. The only difference is that he is 9 and I was 41 and they were almost a year apart. Then, we went to the game yesterday and he got to be in the honorary line-up and go on the field with a player. Creating memories for my kids is one of my "things". He has a few autographs so he also tried to get Miguel Cabrera to sign a ball that day but he wasn't able to get it. Here are a few pics from that day as well as yesterday.

If you see the player in the picture of him in front of the dugout, it's Francouer. I just noticed that. Funny.

Good stuff!! That's a great story! Frenchie has always been a class act.

Great story with Francoeur; I've heard that he is an awesome guy. However, I can't help but have a bad taste in my mouth that Miguel Cabrera ignored your son's sign. Who does that to a kid on his birthday?

Manny Ramirez... hell, he passes up 'Make A Wish' kids with cancer not to sign.... but he wants to come back to the MLB...
