Yes! Exactly what I wanted! I asked this at Fan Fest and I first thought why bother asking because they probably already made their decision and my question won't change anything but then I thought that as stupid as this front office has been at times, and as easy as doing something for the 97 team can be, if they weren't planning anything then maybe me asking in a public forum would at least put the thought out there in public and would put it in their minds and maybe, just maybe something can get done. Now there's no way I can truly take credit for this but considering the sequence of events and the answer Samson gave me that day, I think I can smile feeling pretty good about my decision to ask that question. Now why they haven't sent me tickets to the home opener to celebrate this I don't know.
