On October 8th we went to see the Scottsdale Scorpions play at Phoenix Muni. Many of the players on the field that day were ones that we had seen when we went to the Stockton Ports game this summer (it was a bobblehead giveaway day). The Giants draft pick Gary Brown was playing and Joe Panik was coaching first base.
After the game, I got a few autographs from Scorpions players, but Gary Brown said that he would come back since he had promised some kids at the other end of the dugout first. We were good with that, but he never returned. As I dejectedly climbed the stadium stairs to go back to the parking lot, Tracy called out to me. He had been chatting with Gary's mom, who had commented on his Giants shirt, and she offered him one of her son's autographed California All Star card (with a nice signature--not a scribble!!) That sure took the sting away! Thank you very much Mrs. Brown!
