His game thread was awesome, and yes, I would have a hard time beating him, but I wouldn't look at it that way. I bet I could step up and make Brian proud.
No, I've met him before, but I cant say I know him. In my line of work, you meet lots of famous people. The most famous person that I could actually call a friend would be Steve Tyler, or Warren Haynes.
I know, Mauer is always around too. He follows my Daughters career, which kind of blew me away. My Daughter was known as the female Joe Mauer at Cretin.
