well as many of you know I own a trophy store in Arlington... well today a man came in and bought a gold baseball glove trophy... and when I took his info down he said his name was Vernon Wells. and I replied... ohh kinda like the Toronto Blue Jays OF... he said, yup just like that... thats my son... I knew he went to Bowie High school cuz he is same age as me... and I have been following him since then.... one of my best friends in high school was a top ranked catcher in the ration....also like Vernon and was drafted straight out of high school... but by the Rangers (his dad is Chuck Morgan)
anyway, i talked to him for a while and he was nice.... just thought it was kinda cool because im such a sports nut and sorta almost met someone famous.... i didnt straight up ask for an autograph cuz I didnt wanna seem rude, but hoping he brings me one back tomorrow... if not, maybe Ill ask him to bring me one next time he in area... he still lives here in Southlake in offseason, but dad lives in A-Town still....
most prolly wouldnt care, but kinda made my day!!
