McCann's the MAN!

So remember my obsession with Brian McCann? Well I went to two Braves games in San Diego this weekend. The two games I saw were incredible, the first a 15-12 win in 11 innings and the second an 11-3 route. I couldn't have been happier... except of course with the relief pitching. Anyway, I got THIS CLOSE to Brian McCann and I didn't even have anything for him to sign. I was too flabbergasted to even shout my undying love. Darn it. I learned a few things about him though, Including:
* He is actually very friendly. He is one of few Braves that stopped to sign autographs and even continued doing it when the kids asked even though he told them he was going to get into trouble for missing his batting turn.
* He has one heck of a good booty. He did some booty dances in between throwing mock pitches with his teammate and buddy, Jeff Francoeur. I of course, loved it.
* He is as awesome a player in real life as he is on TV. He hit a home run, just for me. It didn't quite make it to me though, despite his best efforts. A kid below me got it...
* He likes to stretch.
* He looks good behind home plate.
* He can't run very fast, but we love him anyway. He is a bit chubby afterall.


Isn't he just the greatest? The rest of the team is not that bad either.

They actually hit 8 homeruns between the two games that I saw. A Padres fan in front of us was telling us that Petco Park, where they play, is known for being unfriendly towards homeruns. And by that I mean, not many homeruns are hit there! So that was pretty cool.

A few records were even set while I was there. Andruw Jones hit such a long one that it was the furthest home run hit in that park. Chipper Jones extended his hitting game of extra base hits to 13...today he actually extended to 14, which ties the major league record set in 1927. So hopefully he will beat that next game.

Nobody probably cares about that stuff, but I guess the moral of the story is that I love those Braves.
