I went to Fandemonium here in Toledo where Tiger players and Mudhen players came to sign autographs, I didn't realize it but when I was getting Leylands autograph they took a picture, I was going trough the website and I was like holy crap there I am. It was pretty surreal. here's the link if you're interested.

that's pretty cool. I think I was on Sportscenter once, but uh that's about the extent of me being famous.

that is cool.

I also had a dalliance with sportscenter. My baseball glove was in the open everyday for a few years. Me and my brother and friend went for ice cream and my friends dad cought a home run ball when we were gone. So that clip was in the open for a couple years.

That's pretty cool. The only media exposure I had was as a kid and the local news was doing a story. I was even asked to comment but I was so shy and quiet that my comments were edited out!

At least you could see me among the crowd.

Only media expose would be getting my article on the front page of my high-school newspaper and being in the police report of my towns newspaper for playing "ding-dong-ditch" lol

Re: I made it on detroittigers.com

I've had a thing for getting myself on TV at Turner Field the past couple seasons. Out of the six or seven games we've went to over that span, I've ended up on TV in some capacity about half the time. Most of the time I've been a little spec in the sea of fans, only distinguishable to myself and others who know who to be looking for. However, on a Sunday afternoon against the D'Backs -- the same game Frenchy threw Gonzo out at the plate twice -- I got a nice amount of camera time, here's the vid...

I'm the one in the dead center that the camera ends up zooming in on. Watch for the ear scratch near the end.

I was once on the front page of the Cooperstown newspaper when I was 8...it was HOF weekend, and they interviewed me coming out of one of the autograph sessions. I was pissed though, because the Jays traded Joe Carter that day. A sad day for me

Re: I made it on detroittigers.com

Well, I got to take a tour of ESPN HQ... I think I posted about it here a long time ago.

I should probably go dig it up and read it.

Re: I made it on detroittigers.com

I've been on the local news a few times and on Sportscenter. Standing behind Tiger as he tees off is a good way to get yourself on TV. Also been on TV plenty during Red Sox games. Field Box seats are fantastic.
