"Who's got seat 7 ?!?!"

So, picture the worst person you could possibly be put next to at a baseball game.....keep in mind that the seats aren't "roomy" by any means.

Does that person look like this?......


Because as Trish and I were getting our picture taken with the field in the background, we both noticed this rather large man, complimented by numerous tattoos and a gigantic tray of food! The first thing out of our mouths was "Who's got seat #7?!?!?!?" We scrambled to pull our stubs out of our pockets and it was LON who had the unfortunate luck of sitting next to this "super fan".

Mike, who was still unaware as to why we were wondering who had seat 7, turned around and instantly said "I'll sit next to him!" As Mike crawled over the seat from the row behind he said to the guy "We're not going to have any problems are we???" The man, without looking up, replied "Not unless you try to touch my food"!!!!!



Turns out, by the end of the game the two men were good friends. The guy was from Illinois and not actually a Cardinals or Reds fan, but in fact an Atlanta Braves fan. He just liked coming to St. Louis to watch baseball games.
