(1) Have seen lots of greats...but the greatest single performance I ever saw in person was a 3-tater day by Pujols at Busch in 2006. I was sitting behind home plate and even in a packed ballpark the contact sounded unlike anything I ever heard....and he missed #4 on the warning track.
(2) greatest player ever "met"...Yaz at his last spring training game in '83...back when you could lean over the dugout and solicit autographs. He signed and actually talked to me for what seemed like an hour (it was probably 30 seconds...). My favorite all time player
(3) slight twist....best i ever FACED...Billy Wagner. even at 20, his shit was unreal. That ball also made a sound I had never heard before...cuz I sure didnt SEE it
