I saw the man himself in Home Depot tonight. He bought a shitload of patio furniture and looked very swollen. He's a huge fucking dude. His eye doesn't look all too good. Poor guy.
That brings my RBI Baseball player sightings to 2: Bob Brenly and now Kirby Puckett.
I've also met Robin Yount at my Home Depot.
Damn,
you must have one badass Home Depot. If you visit...the RBI'ers will come.
Did he take a piss out in the parking lot before he drove off?
Kirby Puckett looks like a penis.
We need a "what rbi'er have you met" thread.
Ryne Sandberg
Rick Sutcliffe
I met after a Cub game in 1989.
do baseball games count?
not counting them, my number is 1
Mookie Wilson at a go-cart park i used to work at. He was dressed like a pimp.
I have met:
Dawson
Sandberg
Burks (had breakfast with him!)
Tim Raines (and his wife and then 2 year old--who is now playing for Balt?)
Mattingly
And I've gotten autographs from a ton of 'em (as a kid), but it's tough to consider paying $10 for Jose Canseco to sign your baseball card while you stand at a table in front of him a "meeting" of an RBI player.
I ran into Daryl Strawberry in a convenience store in Pine Desert, CA in the summer of '99. He looked like he had just finished snorting half a pound of coke up his nose, which in retrospect, he probably had.
i've met downing, sutton and boone, all at autograph sessions
You know what would be tight, if you got them to autograph your RBI booklet or cartridge box
Interesting bit of investigative reporting by a Twins blog about the fact that you can't buy Kirby Puckett merchandise anywhere (http://www.twinkietown.com/2017/3/14/14924800/kirby-puckett-new-stuff-merchandise-memorabilia-licensing-jerseys-shirts-rights-contract-death-cards).
