Having worked on major league baseball for 7 years I have seen all star games and playoff games. (Unfortunatly no world series as of yet) My most memorable game was the day I spent with Pete Rose being his shadow at Wrigley Field the weekend he tied Cobbs record. There were 2 of us assigned to be Pete's shadow because of death threats and other issues that came up. We were with Pete wherever he went including on the field. We were walking back from his press conference held under the right field stands when a 2 hopper came right at us and I grabbed it with my bare hand. Pete looked at me and said it was a nice catch but he had no clue my hand was now on fire!! When he tied Cobb's record I was in the dugout with the whole team and watched this record tying event with the Reds.

The interesting thing is a few months ago I found a Youtube video that show me in the dugout as Pete Rose was running out to the field on this day. You cant see my face all that well but it is definitly me standing there against the water cooler!! when I get home tonight I will link the video as the computers at work have blocked youtube.

I have seen at least 2 thousand games but that one was one of the best!!
