JULY Pickups

[mschwade]

So a couple of months ago, my wife and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. My wife learned that the fifth anniversary is the anniversary of wood, so naturally, she had Louisville Slugger make me a bat to commemorate the day. On it, she inscribed "Happy 5th Anniversary! - Matthew and Jennifer - April 26, 2013 - You're My Inspiration".. The Last part because our first dance was "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago.

Last night, Chicago played at my hometown's local fireworks show and I wrote an email on Wednesday to the radio station that M.C.'s the event and their promotions director called me on Tuesday. She explained they didn't have the ability for a meet-and-greet or backstage passes, but said they would try their darndest to get the bat back stage. I waited about an hour afterwards and the M.C. came back with my bat, signed by four of the original six members that are still with Chicago

Matt, you realize that your wife is going to use that bat on you when you get out of line...the modern day version of the rolling pin. Very sweet pickup.

James, nice pickups as well. What's your HOF number up to now?

Thanks guys... Mike as far as your comment, my wife is short, I'll just be sure to hang it high on the wall
