So i went to the game in jupiter on 3/15. Just wanted to post a little story about my experience (its not my first time going or anything but some interetsing things happened). So IUm sitting in the bleachers by the bullpen and made sure to get the autographs of some of the guys oin the pen and al leiter who was sitting with them. Leiter seemed like a real cool guy, and this is the first time ive actually talked to him. During the game my friends and I began to chant MVP, when Delgado came up to bat. (And as is often the case in ST games, the fans seemed like they were at a funeral b/c it was so quiet). Anyway, during our chant leiter joins in and starts spelling out MVP with his arms. Shortly after a friend of mine asks al if he wants a brew, to which he says' yea bring me two' Leiter then retreats back into the clubhouse. Lou Ford and shannon stewart walk by to sign some autographs. Then there was a dontrelle willis sighting. He gets swarmed by fans looking to get autographs, and signs a bunch of them. However, he got annoyed and bitched at some girl, saying "I dont want to sing anything im just here hollering at my boys." The girl seemed heartbroken. D-train then disappears. I then started talkign a bit with les walrond, who seems like a shy dude. I felt bad for him b/c none of the people were asking for his autograph, and they were asking all the guys sitting around him. Todd Jones also seemed like a cool dude, he was heckling the other teams pitcher from the pen. His son was there as well. As for the game, i was impressed by Hermida who almost jacked two balls out of the park but were caught at the track. The wind was blowing towards home. Jorg also hit one to the track in the bottom of the 9th. As for our pitchers, they did great, valdez seemed rusty but he was ok, all of our guys had good control and walked few batters overall. There was also a great play by ford, throwing out a marlins runner at home, which would have been the eventual winning run. Overall it was a good experience, we then went to the bar across the street and had a few brews before coming back to miami.

Did Leiter actually drink the beers? Or did he leave before you could give it to him?

Good report. There's baseball. Thanks.

Wish more would get the taste of ST.

However, he got annoyed and bitched at some girl, saying "I dont want to sing anything im just here hollering at my boys." The girl seemed heartbroken.

Not bashing on the d-train, butI just talked to one of my coworkers who says he knows one of the electricians that works at roger dean, and before i even mentioned the incident with the girl yesterday, my friend says that the electrician told him that willis was the biggest a-hole of the all the players hes met on the marlins. I also forgot to add that mota was sitting on the bench (by the pen) all alone, he was like in complete focus before he started warming up. He was letting anyone distract him at all. Some of the others guys were clowning around before coming into the game

Willis signed for everyone that came over to him while he was on the bench. He got testy with some drunk spring breakers who said something to him that was mildly racist, but can you blame him for that?

 

He almost refused to sign for these two older guys who were clearly autograph dealers, but he did and then he left the bench (this was about the 7th or 8th inning, so he'd been signing for a while).

I've had the exact opposite experiences all the times i've met him. He's been nice and he was joking around with my and my friends. I guess it's just where and when you meet a person. I've had problems with Josh Beckett in the past but i know some people that say he's a nice guy.

He was only sitting there for about an inning, he came out of the dugout when I saw him. Is that when you saw him too? By the bullpen?

No one blames them for being moody the problem is that b/c they are at a public stage they are held to higher standards. And IMO saying no to an autograph is perfectly ok, but the way he responded to that girl was plain rude.

That's why Mota was smart at the game, he sits far from the fans so he won't seem like an @ss if he declines autographs. Either way, you shouldn't think less of a player because he was rude one time you talk to him.

Everyone has their days.

D-Train is a bitch. I cant believe how fame gets to peoples heads. I havent had the pleasure of meeting Leiter yet, I cant wait. Seems you had fun, thats good.

hahahahah were you the person he wouldn't give the autograph to?

 

man autographs are dumb(i'm especially annoyed by people who whine about not getting them)...if i was a player i wouldn't even bother to sign for people over the age of about 14.

I am not an autograph person too.

Alot of people get so mad if a player doesnt sign an autograph... Players do get tired of signing 100's of autographs. I know I would. Sometimes they are not allowed to sign them and players cant sign during innings, only between them

 

For that D-Train thing... he probably just had a rough day. Almost everyone says stuff like that when they are mad. I get crabby sometimes :blush

D-Train is normally a great guy, he's always been polite for me. I've seen him three times, and seen him sign each time. But Holly .. crabby? Impossible! :o
