What a great way to start my Thanksgiving vacation...with an IP of Bucky Dent who led the Yankees to a World Series with his famous home run against the Red Sox. Took a lot of swallowing my pride this morning in meeting him and asking for his auto but I am glad I did.
I waited at the event since I was not in attendance of his breakfast meeting. Once it was over only 10 people were in line to meet him for pictures and autographs. He was a super nice guy and we talked for about 5 minutes. I got the hint that he doesn't care for the new Yankee stadium that much and they he missed the old one. He was very gracious in signing my MLB baseball and taking a picture with me. Only thing was, he didnt do inscriptions and only one autograph per person. I tried so sorry everyone.
This has been my first IP in quite some time and glad I made the decision to go through with it...even though it was a retired Yankee.
