His monster home run landed in my seat....but I wasn't there. I passed over the ticket to my buddies an hour before the game....."had to go see about a girl."

Married 13 years now.
Very cool story!

In 1999 I seen Sammy Sosa's #63 and Mark McQwire's #64 & #65 in person. I was one of several people that paid insane money for bleacher seats in St Louis for the last 3 games of the season when they were both on pace to break the home run record again.
