April 21, 200521 yr I went to todays game. I managed to get a few met autographs in gate A, as usual the opposing team signs more than the Marlins. Just when my hopes were down around 11 PM already, I see a jeep pass, and an old man is driving it, I didn't recognize him it was dark, I told my girlfriend it was "nobody". He wasn't going to stop but I guess he heard me. He bursts out laughing and says; am nobody huh? Then keeps drving extra slow, so I glanced at him still didn't recognize him, finally he says, 3rd base coach of the florida marlins, am like, whoa, can I have your autograph, he was so nice, he signed my Florida Marlins baseball, then starts waving his arm like waving a runner and said he had his work cutout for him tonight, and starts screaming, "let's go Marlins!", lol, it was one of the most memorable encounters for me ever. I feel bad I didn't know who the guy was, but he still signed, goes to show some guys out there still have class.
April 21, 200521 yr You might have seen me, I got JP to stop for us. He only stopped for us and left, right at Gate A.
April 21, 200521 yr hahahaha omg coxie is the best. he was soooo cool when i met him a few times last year.
April 21, 200521 yr Author perhaps, I was the guy yelling crazily at the cars, people would ask who is that and I was replying stuff like, sure it's an old man...lol...I was also running after the cars....do you remember seeing someone with a white t-shirt, and jeans, and jordan shoes running real fast after the cars? Maybe u remember, I was also wearing a visor, it is orange, teal, and black?
April 21, 200521 yr Coxy is freaking amazing. when i worked for the team i respected everyone but cox was the funniest guy ever. him and kevin(millar) and ryan (dempster) were awesome in the clubhouse. cox is the type that pulls a joke from nothing. he is highly loved by the players bc noone beats his personality. i love him. i can think of a 100 stories with him but not going to put them all down.

I know some guy was running after cars .. but I talked to him before he left and he was asking a guy in a white van "Hey is anyone in there still?"
April 21, 200521 yr Author that was me, and yes a blonde and a fat lady, that was me and my girl....LOL
April 21, 200521 yr Author my girl was the blonde one, remember? how cool, I think I reemmber who u were, u were with some elderly lady? as I left I think I spoke to you, and by the way when u were leaving was when cox stopped.
April 21, 200521 yr my girl was the blonde one, remember? how cool, I think I reemmber who u were, u were with some elderly lady? as I left I think I spoke to you, and by the way when u were leaving was when cox stopped. 749964[/snapback] Yeah I saw someone stop over by you guys. I wasn't sure who it was. That's cool, I figured when you said you were some crazy guy chasing cars that it was you, lol
April 21, 200521 yr Author reemmber i told u I like to chase them, forget the spring training games lol, i remember u telling me about getting autos then
April 21, 200521 yr reemmber i told u I like to chase them, forget the spring training games lol, i remember u telling me about getting autos then 749967[/snapback] yeah. I remember that. They said Cabrera stopped where Cox did too earlier. Edit: was he alone or were there 3 guys with him? I saw him leaving the parking lot. I bet Beckett's car is still there with a note on it.
April 21, 200521 yr Author i chased cabrera he never stopped, take my word for it, I am speedy gonzalez, I chased him every step of the way.
April 21, 200521 yr i chased cabrera he never stopped, take my word for it, I am speedy gonzalez, I chased him every step of the way. 749970[/snapback] When he turned the corner, he stopped .. lol you should have kept chasing him. Some guy came over before you guys came up (before JP stopped) and said Cabrera stopped around the corner just alittle while ago and he got his autograph.
April 21, 200521 yr Author dammit...and their was a little girl that was begging me to get the auto for her, should have chased him all the way out, but I feared I would lose out on other autographs. by the way got aim?
April 21, 200521 yr Author well i still managed to get Marlon Anderson, mike mathews, and Jeff Cox, auto, not bad, maybe I should chase less, maybe they have something against it....lol

April 21, 200521 yr Cox is cool. I met him last year. Surprising fact - Coxy is bi-lingual. He managed/coached in Mexico for several years.
April 21, 200521 yr well i still managed to get Marlon Anderson, mike mathews, and Jeff Cox, auto, not bad, maybe I should chase less, maybe they have something against it....lol 749973[/snapback] Wow...hold onto those Marlon Anderson and Mike Mathews autographs...they might be worth something some day. :whistle
April 21, 200521 yr Cox can't coach 3rd base for s***. I can't even remember how many dumb decisions he made last season.
April 21, 200521 yr well i still managed to get Marlon Anderson, mike mathews, and Jeff Cox, auto, not bad, maybe I should chase less, maybe they have something against it....lol 749973[/snapback] Wow...hold onto those Marlon Anderson and Mike Mathews autographs...they might be worth something some day. :whistle 750030[/snapback] :banghead I wish I would have gotten Marlon Andersons autograph.. I saw him in a sports store about 8 years ago. My mom and I were looking at some pictures and he was right next to us.. We started talking about the pictures and he mentioned his name was Marlon Anderson.. His dream is to play for the Yanks lol
