Met Johnny Damon last night

JStokes · 06-27-2012, 01:26 PM

We got tickets from a charity auction, on field access for batting practice and met some players, but Damon was really a nice guy, came over and talked to us for a while, very cool dude--a LOT bigger than he looks on TV, signed baseballs for a bunch of kids--it's HOPE WEEK this week, so a bunch of underprivileged kids were there. As much as I hate the Yankees, they do a really nice job of reaching out to the community--Jeter and ARod took pictures with a bunch of little kids, a guy who serves meals to the needy every night in Jackson Heights threw out the first pitch.

Me and Paul O’Neill--he said let me stand next to the little guy :O

Walking through Times Square--big billboard taking video of passers-by--that's me all the way left

Cool Billboard near Port Authority--can't wait

Got a ball at BP

Yes, Paulie, I am that guy--this was actually the same cutie bartender from the Garden that I took the photo with last February--she actually asked ME if I wanted another picture and hopped over the bar to have it taken

[IMG]http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk142/jstokes719/Yankee_Tender.jpg[/IMG]

Don't know who this was, but she was pretty majestic as she walked by-I think she's one of the new on-field/in the stands Yankee announcers

Yup, posted plenty pics of me, not a concern. I've seen YOUR mug here :D

However, I posted pics of my kids once, but that ended up not such a smart idea, although it was Sooth's thread requesting same.

SAR got himself band for about a month for that one.

That's really bad ass Stokes.

Also, it's really neat they gave you a gumball with baseball graphics on it.

So I guess it was worth it!!! You are a team player.

I am expecting some brilliant shops from these.

Nice job Stokesy.

FWIW I am pretty sure you can bag that bartender if you want.

Aye, but I'm a raving and drooling idiot rememeber.
