Ill start.... My best friend was drafted by a MLB team a few years back as a starter... He's now a reliever... He's a up and down guy. Last year he was never called up but the 4 prior years he was up for an average of 80 games a year... Me and his brother road tripped every summer to watch him.... We would take 10-14 days and just go follow him. He got us all-access passes. Basically we would go to the park at 230 for a 730 game. We could go anywhere except for the actual lockeroom which is a sacred place for a baseball player... We would go sit in the dug out and just take it in... He would go get his work in and come hang for a while.... During this time I've met longoria, fielder, Braun, Phillips, votto, Matt Holliday, Albert P, chipper, etc... Most were very nice.... I was like a kid in aww... I could of never met a single guy and been the happiest guy ever... Just to watch these guys do work from lie 5 feet away was AN unreal experience.... The coolest part was the staff at the parks treating you so well... My friend was a no name guy but he was up... So we got treated great... I've done this at 6 stadiums for about 15 total games... Every time I'm just as pumped as the first time... My claim to fame was I was in a back ground shot of MLB network interview with a player... I got a text from a buddy tha said "holy shit you're on MLB network right now"... I've had some pretty great baseball experiences for a nobody like me... Just lucky to have a great friend with great talent lol
