and got autographs on a photo of it from Sox Manager and former all-star/ future Hall of Famer Robin Ventura, best defensive second baseman in the big leagues Gordon Beckham, and White Sox closer Addison Reed:

and before one of Harry Reinhart's favorite players gave a motivational speech I had a 5 minute chat with 1983 Rookie of the year Ron Kittle showed him photos of my backyard stadium and had him autograph my White Sox hat:

Here's parts of his speech before my camera died (very funny guy):

^ LOL...U.S. Cellular Field where my swimming pool used to be!

Himm2 you are one "cool dude in a loose mood"...as Steven Tyler would say if he met you.

This could also be on YouTube under the category, "What you can do with that swimming pool in your backyard no one is using anymore". I love it...and I look forward to seeing it in person in May? or sometime this summer?

Home Opener for Sox...April 1st. Home Opener for Twins...April 1st...I can almost smell the season tickets arriving in the mail.

I missed TwinsFest this past weekend, instead doing my duty as loving son, taking care of my 86 year old mother after foot surgery.

Buzz, I restrained myself from giving a Captain Dinkin's Yell each time I got an autograph!
Also Our 35th floor Hyatt Regency Hotel Room overlooked the plaza where Haley & Casey had their Mag Mile Lights fest performances of "All My Lovin", "Moanin" and BICO plus the parade route:

I forgot to mention that Ron Kittle named his daughter:
HALEY ELIZABETH - It's the truth!

Thanks for posting Himm. I can tell your so proud of your backyard Cellular Field. And I enjoyed watching Ron Kittle in his speech!

Congratulations, Capt. Dinkins -- I'm sure it wasn't easy to hold back!

Himm reminds me of a College Professor

MNB, I'm beginning to think you've decided most of those who frequent this site are college professors.
