Cool story bro.

You know, I've always wondered just how well-connected this blog is in that regard - I know we've seen examples of MGoBloggers running into famous Wolverines and the like, but if you consider the next level - our families - I am curious as to whether or not there is someone an MGoBlogger knows or is related to in the news every day....like the OP's story.
Very cool indeed.

Or maybe the Mgoblogger is the person in the news? What if an MGoBlogger is Harbaugh?

Granted, we spent most of our childhood summers at Duggan's Family Campground in Port Austin, Michigan. Really loved that place!
Pretty sure I saw that he gave them all to young kids, too. Real cool.
In the same section he was, 4 rows down from him.
Seemed super nice. 3 were deflections off the media boxes. 2 of them in the same AB.
One of the other two short hopped the walkway area to him.
The last one he caught on the fly. All of these with a glove.
He said he got 35 last year.
He gave all to kids.
All of them were straight to him, even the sparse crowd, he didn't move from his space much.
Crazy, by the end of the game, people were getting their picture taken with him.
I was there and got to see this from the suite level. In what was an otherwise lousy game with few fans, each successive foul ball caught brougt on a louder cheer and even more so when he tossed them to a nearby kid. It was pretty awesome to witness! I know exactly where I'm sitting when I want a shot at catching a foul ball!
I also got to sit next to Kate Upton, but no pics, so it didn't actually happen. She was also amused, or would have been, had she been there.
Kate probably did not stay around too long, since JV hit the showers early.

Jeter was consistently one of the worst, and many times the worst fielding shortstop in the league for the back half of his career. He's cost his team more runs in the field than any player in the history of baseball (40 runs worse than second place Gary Sheffield, who also had a 20+ year career and nobody is mistaking him for a gold glover). I can respect what Jeter did for baseball, and living in NYC I know how beloved he still is here, but let's not act like this guy was a consistently good fielder. He just wasn't. You remember the "great" plays, but his range was so limited for a decade that most of those plays would have been routine for even an average fielding shortstop.

One of the guys on the Rich Eisen show this morning was ripping into your cousin for being a grown man with a baseball mitt roaming the stadium catching fouls. You'll be happy to know most listeners and Rich (kinda) disagreed.
