Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 3653895, member: 489"] There was a call in to win a lunch and autograph afternoon with Tim Wakefield about 15 years ago or so. My mother actually won on a CT station so me and my wife brought my son (Yanks fan) and his best buddy (Sox fan). There were 4 winners so 16 people with Tim and a couple Sox reps. He was a complete gentleman and very talkative with the kids especially talking about baseball. I had a UConn shirt on and we talked for a while about UConn hoops as well as his SS in college at FIU as he went to Maloney with me a couple years younger. Another time we had the same group at my company seats for a game and pregame allowed to go on the field and walk the warning track and get pics with the players. The kids had pics with Damon, Varitek and basically about 15 other players and Tito as well. My son had a Yankee hat on so many of them put their hands over the NY for pics and had fun with it. Varitek pretended to throw it over the Green Monster. But 200 feet away Papi and Manny were horsing around with kids yelling for them to come over but both ignored the kids and never came close to getting any pics. [/QUOTE]
