Fun story from my Spring Training trip

The hotel we stayed at was about 5-10 minutes away from Tempe Diablo, which made it perfect. Well my Dad went out to the pool one day and said that he saw some guy who "looked like a baseball player" going from an orange Camaro with Michigan plates in the parking lot into the hotel room 2 doors over from us. The next morning we see the Camaro in the player lot at Diablo Stadium, so I start thinking of Angels players who live in Michigan. My first thought was Scot Shields, but I wasn't sure.

Then, when we got back to the hotel after the Dodgers game on Monday, we see 3 guys in the parking lot playing with remote controlled cars, one of which my Dad says is the guy he saw getting out of the Camaro. We start walking to the hotel room, when I realized something. The three guys were Scot Shields, Jered Weaver, and Scott Kazmir. Kazmir was having trouble getting his RC car working, so we tried to help him fix it, never did get it working, but he signed a ball for me. It was a fun experience, but it got better.

Much later, we were at a resturant down the street a little bit from the hotel, just finishing up dinner, when Scot and Jered walked in. My Dad bought a round for them and we chatted for a little bit. When we got home that night, we realized Jered would probably start Tuesday's game. At which point, we started telling my Dad that if Jered sucked on Tuesday, it was all his fault. My Dad ended up lucking out though, since even with Jered's rough start, that was the only Angels win we saw.
