Mark McGwire Eludes Me Two Years in a Row
As an avid baseball fan, my wife and I make a yearly trip to Phoenix Arizona for Cactus League Spring Training. Part of my Spring Training routine is to catch Dodgers batting practice at Comelback Ranch, and for two years now, try to get Mark McGwire to autograph a baseball for me. And, for two years now... he has escaped me.
I do see him every year. He has even spoken to me on one occasion, but he’s never signed anything for me. Last year he was within a foot of me, signing balls, but he passed me up. No hard feelings though, because he was only signing for the youngsters. If I’m going lose out on a live sig, it might as well be to little kids.
So, since I didn’t get my signed ball, I did the next best thing and snapped pictures of my childhood sports hero at his job. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
