KEVIN FRANDSEN!

So, I've "met" my favorite Giants player, Kevin Frandsen, three times now but the third was absolutely a charm. The first time I met him, my heart practically jumped in my throat and I could hardly spit out "will you sign my ball?". I was getting my dad's baseball autographed for him. The entire time, Kevin was gabbing it up with someone else!
The second time I met him was at Photo Day, when he was hobbling around, looking like his Achilles was really hurting him (he's been out the whole season because of an Achilles rupture).
The third time is a beautiful memory. Mal and I got there early (as usual) and watched the ladies play softball (all the Giants wives/significant others played against those of the A's). After awhile, Mal and I decided to go sit down and we noticed Kevin walking out the practice throwing in the bullpen. No one was even around! This was my chance. I walked over to him and asked if he would sign my hat. Of course, he said sure. No one else was even around so I knew I had to say something.

Here is our conversation:
Me: Kevin, will you sign my hat?
Kevin: Sure.
Me: How are you feeling these days? Getting better?
Kevin: Yeah, I'm doing better.
Me: Do you think you'll be back this season?
Kevin: Yeah, I really hope so.

Thrilling conversation, right? I loved every sweet second of it. My goal all season was to talk to him, for even a moment, and that's exactly what I got, plus a really cool autograph on my Giants hat. The only autograph that matters, in my opinion. ;)

I'm disappointed that it looks like he'll be out all season but at least he's still around. hey, if he's just chilling out, I probably have better chances of meeting him and talking to him again, right?

BEST DAY EVER!
