What do you do after you get your $12.5M option picked up by the Red Sox? Duh, you head straight to Vegas to celebrate with Chappy! Okay, okay I don’t really think that was Big Papi’s plan, but that’s the way I remember it, so I’m sticking to that story. It’s funny because I was against going to Pure night club, but was very happy my buddy followed some chicks there or this meeting wouldn’t have been possible. Sure, I might have seen him later on the $10K minimum blackjack tables, but it was much more fun being in the relaxed nightclub scene with some cocktails. What could make me like one of the most likeable guys in baseball more? The fact that he pushed aside his own Maverick Carter wanna-be, and let me chat for a little, and even let me get a picture with him. It’s refreshing in the TMZ age, where I’m sure he gets drunk guys like me bugging him all the time that he took the time to acknowledge my existence. He could’ve easily let his goon push me aside, but being the nice guy he is he pushed his goon aside. Unfortunately, I also found out that he won’t be voiding his contract to take Jack Cust’s spot as the A’s DH anytime soon. That question did get him to chuckle though!

Great sighting, Chappy! I’m glad the Sox picked up his option. There’s life in his bat yet!

Great work ! But with Carl Crawford and Lee being on the market Papi’s $12.5 million will be chicken feed once those two get snapped up quite possibly by the Yankees. I know you of all people have to be happy that Scott Boras doesn’t represent either of the two players in question ?

And big proppies to Big Papi for being cool enough to let some weird white guy chill with him for a bit.
I’m hoping you told him about the site.

Yeah, it’s always refreshing to see that the rumors are true about guys that are dubbed “nice”.
I forgot to mention the site, but I can blame that on the alcohol!

Any truth to the rumor you wrote a letter to the Yankees’ Brian Cashman telling him ….. “Moneyball works deal with it ” …. ?

[…] worked there, I haven’t seen that many celebs nor been able to interact with them aside from Big Papi in Vegas. Going back to the course and seeing some old co-workers re-reminded me of some of those memories. […]
