C'est La Vie IP

[CW13]

Meaning....."That's life"...or maybe more appropriate last night "shi* happens".....

Decided to go catch the end of a high school baseball game between Colleyville Heritage and Mansfield High..Had a broken bat I got 23 yrs ago that I was gonna get signed...Bleepin Bleepin Silver paint marker would not work when I pulled into the parking lot...Very frustrating...However, I thankfully and luckily had a GU OMLB in the trunk of my car to salvage the experience.Will have to go next year most likely to get the bat signed...

His kid, Preston, is a sophomore playing varsity and had 6 RBI last night including a grand slam and a double...

He may not be liked by all; but he was definitely one of my very favorites growing up...I loved that swing..so smooth

Rafael Palmeiro 1/1 GU OMLB w "3020 Hits 569 HR"
and 4/4 cards


Thanks for reading!!

Great Job Chris
To bad you could not get the bat signed but at least you the ball signed.

Ya I have the worst luck with those MF Silver Paint Sharpies...He was super nice as I was the only person there to ask for an auto(one other guy asked for a pic with him) and since his son's team had just won a series, everyone was in a good mood. I was a little reluctant to ask for the inscription but what's the worst he can say..No, right? Anyway he laughed when I told him I had a broken bat of his that I got at Spring Training 23 yrs ago sitting in my car b/c the stupid marker would not work. His older son plays at UAB and since Preston is only a soph, I should be able to get this done eventually...

thanks guys!!

I think he has a cool, yet undecipherable, sig.
