Making the most of Oak....

I just got back from the bay area this afternoon. We caught the Thursday nite game vs. the A's. The game was great and we saw quite a few Halo fans in the seats as well as on the shuttle over from the Hilton.

The Oakland fans weren't too bad but the area around the stadium was a little rough.

Thurs. afternoon my family and I had returned from SF on the BART and were waiting in the Station for the hotel shuttle to return us to our hotel. While we were sitting there, Mathis, Napoli, Quinlan and Weaver came walking past on there way to the stadium. Soon after was Terry Smith and Hud. Hud stopped and said hello to us and had some baseball cards of himself, which he signed and gave to my kids. He was cool. I can't say anything bad about him anymore.

We had a great time otherwise and there were a lot of Halo fans at the hotel as well, who went to the game.

There is something totally hilarious

about Rex Hudler walking around with baseball cards of himself, ready to sign for little kids. Hilarious, and undeniably Hud-like.

Cards

I think it's particularly clever that he uses his baseball card to give autographs. I guess it could be viewed conceited, but I think it's cool.

What do they look like?

Old pic or new one?

But knowing Hud you may not want your kids to go to their mouths after touching them. And never ever let them lick the things.

I was at the game

Sat at field level on the first baseline. There were more angel fans in our section than oakland. We sat next to a guy from Montreal who had planned his vacation to the bay area around an angels series just because he wanted to see Vlad again

Pretty cool

dedication to go that far to see Vlad, but dude is pretty dumb to go see him in shi-hole Oakland when he could have come to OC!

that kind of thing might be common

i met Kurt Warner in LAX and he just had a bunch of signed cards in his pocket so he could hand them out and not waste time signing for people, seemed like a good idea to me

Paul O'Neill's a BITCH!
