How I pulled it off:
My father and I were at field level. Jackie was introduced by the stadium announcer before the game to rousing applause. He was two sections over from me'. Once the game started I went up my aisle and over to his but the usher wouldn't let me down to get to his seat. I went back to my seat, thought a moment, and then cut across the section of seats in a straight line. Most people were nice and not terribly annoyed as I stepped on their feet and explained my mission. Then, there I was, standing right next to his aisle seat with pen and program. "Excuse me Mr. Robinson, can I have your autograph?" He looked up at me, signed it, and said not a word. Up I went back to the top of his aisle, past that mean ol' usher and back to my seat.
thats awesome!!!!
