practically famous...

I have strict orders not to mention anything about the UNLV game from last night... so on a positive note- last night was Greg Maddux night! For all of those who are living in a hole... he is only the one of the greatest MLB pitchers of all time. He happens to be from Vegas... and has season tickets to the Rebel games. Before Maddex was even born we had bought him an infant Braves hat... and thought it would be really cool for him to wear it to the game. On our way out the door I grabbed a sharpie marker- just incase :). During half time Tanner left for a second and I was sitting in my seat when I saw Greg Maddux walk past me... I instantly thought- I've gotta catch him! I dug for about 10 min. through my diaper bag to find my sharpie and then headed after him. He was in the middle of a press conference (by this time Tanner was with me...) so we waited for him. When he came out Tanner asked him to sign Maddex's hat... he also took a picture with Maddex for us. He was a nice guy- and not just because he said Maddex was a really cute kid. ;)

i mean, don't look happy or anything maddex- gosh!

That is so cool. I guess Tanner has you trained. (You spotted Greg Maddux on your own!! I don't know if I would have recognized him!) That is really neat to have his hat signed.
