He was making an appearance today at an area Whataburger, from 10:30 to 11:30 this morn.

I thought—wow, will my boys be jazzed when I give them an autographed baseball tonight. Plus, I was going to have a quick chat—in the time it took him to sign my ball—about the Hogs CWS. Something like "were you able to keep up with the Hogs this year?" I even had my red Razorback baseball cap on so he knew I was legit.

Left a meeting early this morning (used my hail damaged house as my excuse...again), ran by a sporting goods store to buy an official Rawlings ball, then high-tailed it to the Whataburger. Got there about 45 minutes early...but NO dice. They already had 250 in the official line, plus another 50 in a reserved line in case there was time to get them in. The Whata-manager said about 50 people were there at 7:30 this morning!

I'm obviously a novice at this autograph thing—even though I did get a Felix Jones autograph (on a white #25 jersey) a few years ago. Not sure there's a complicated strategy, other than showing up early. I'm bummed. I mean CRAIG GENTRY??...I knew why I was there, but why are 400+ OTHER people standing in line, in the 100+ heat, for Craig Gentry?? Seriously??

Lesson learned. End of story (not that there was one to begin with.)

He's Kitten Face,  everyone in the metroplex wants to meet him... according to Grubes!

HA!...but never heard Grubes say that. So you're saying if he wasn't good-looking, I'd probably have my autographed ball right now??

Funny story. Sad, but funny. Like the title too---can't get enough "Stephen Hill".

I don't know anything about the autograph-seeking culture, but I bet it's a world unto itself.

If anyone would know it would be Grubes.
