    I was late to work so I cut thru the stadium to get to the bar. You have to take an elevator to get to field level. Guess who jumps on last second...David Wright.

    Wished him luck on the season. He is a nice guy. Best 30 second convo I have had.:rofl:

    He offered me a batting glove. I had to turn it down because I was in uniform and can not accept it. Damn rules.:shit:

    He looks alot bigger then 200 lbs.

    Well, I have met the 2 biggest icons in NY...Jeter and Wright.

    Although the best guy I have ever met is Tino. Total class act.

    Thats what i've heard, I know a few people who have met him and said the same thing. Admittedly I used to be a huge Tino fan, guy was great for baseball.

    Wait GM what do you do that keeps you from accepting a batting glove from an icon like David Wright?

    perhaps you couldnt accept the glove because youre a grown man? Does the Mickey suit really need to come into play on this one?:smile:

    Good for him. Just because he's famous doesn't mean he owes you shit.

    I work for Disney, and we can not accept or solicit autographs, gifts, etc.

    However if he offered me cash, I could take it.:lol:

    It is to prevent dopes who work here from abusing their IDs to get autographs and such.

    I basically have full access to the stadium except for the locker rooms and the dugouts.

    and jonny is correct, i am a bartender, but I am alot taller then Tom Cruise:lol:

    David Wright would clearly give you a batting glove if you flashed a Disney card. No doubt about that, you're a big deal.
