Derek Jeter and the Iron Horse.

So my great fiance got me tickets to the game against Tampa last night 9/9/09. So what was so great about the ticket she got me

LEGEND SEATS!!!!

So I get in exactly at 4pm as the gates open. It was Snoppy give away night so I got mine. I head down to the field behind the dugout and I spotted something that I was hoping for.

Jeter was there talking to those people who I said I will not be. The ones who pay tons of money just to take a picture autograph and conversation with him.

He then started signing autographs. This was great! He was signing with not that many people around so I thought he would sign for me as well. I started to head down to the front row but I saw security blocking the walkway. I asked if I could go down to try to get an autograph, to me surprise he let me thru. I guess when there isnt that many people they will let you go. I saw 2 ladies also there trying to get Jeter's attention. They did. So I rushed over and had a quick very short conversation.

Ebe: Hey Derek can you sign this too? ( handing him a ball from batting practice last season OMLB)

Derek: Sure. ( takes the ball and signs it.)

Ebe: Thanks Derek! (Takes the ball and I stick my hand out to shake his and he does)

Ebe: Good luck tonight

Derek: Thanks!

So now the part I am upset about. I was so star struck with the whole thing and upset that I left my Iphone at home and had to use my blackberry, I didnt ask to take a picture with him like the 2 women did.
