Will Clark

Will Clark was my childhood hero since 1st grade. My first real baseball glove was a left handed first baseman's glove. I envisioned me being like Will Clark he was my Baseball God! I got a chance to meet Will the Thrill the other week and my heart was pumping as I relived my childhood in a millisecond. It was not as I wanted it to turn out. First of all I had been pulling out cold sodas from a large cooler to provide fans with drinks. And He comes to our booth I was like "F*CK YEAH! This is awesome!" in my head. Then HE comes into our booth and proceeds to shake hands with Gail's colleagues, Gail's Cousin, Gail's Cousin's Boyfriend, and I look down at my hands dug a foot deep in ice and was like "F*ck!*!" I can't shake his hand that's not cool (well actually my hands were frigging ice cold numb.) So I gave him a polite nod of the head and said, "Hi Will" and he went on saying hi to fans from that point on. I was so bummed.

I was able to get Gail's cousin to take a photo of him.. this is what I got...

Will the Thrill posing with another fan. FML. That should be me.
