 Me and Sean (Sean is holding up one of the cards I made).

This was a super cool experience I got to meet former MLB Pitcher and an Alumni of my high school (Oak Park and River Forest High School) at the place where I work out for baseball. If you are wondering where it is called Strikes Baseball Academy. I wrote Sean a letter to his house in January with a signed custom of me and I told him I wanted to meet him then a few days later I tweeted him on Twitter and since then we have been talking through a DM and time went on and he sent me pictures for customs and I made them and we have been talking and he told me where he could meet me (He takes his son Trent in for lessons at Strikes) and I made the trip over and he was kind enough to sign 11 cards for me and I printed up some extra copies for him to have and I plan to mail him more in the future and I plan to pick up some new cards of him to get signed. Well let me talk about Sean's baseball career: Sean pitched at my High School (OPRF) then collegiality he pitched at Texas A&M and then at the University of Illinois then he ended his collegiate career at St. Francis University where he was Drafted by the pirated in the 6th round of the 1992 Draft and made his way up to the MLB and played in 1998 for the Pirates. Well thanks a ton Sean if you see this and I hope to see you again and thanks for the picture! I also gave Sean some signed customs of me to have!
