Okay, so it's game day and it seems our Twitter / Instagram / Facebook attempts to meet St. Louis Cardinals Pitcher, Joe Kelly, has failed.
Until...... My friend Beth (remember, she's the one in love with Mr. Kelly himself) and I were at the AT&T Rooftop bar having a few drinks before the game and I look down at my phone and see some missed calls and a text. My friend, Mike Moylan (who is a Twitter GURU), tells me to check my Twitter. Keep in mind... I'm still just a Facebooker. I'm a complete Twidiot. So I look.... Joe Kelly is tweeting us to come down to the dugout to say "Hi". I show my friend and she practically yanks my poor cancer body and painted head out the door to the dugout.
We reach the section where the dugout is and have to clear the ushers. At first, we tried to convince the nice older lady that Joe Kelly wanted us down there. I mean, he tweeted us and all.... She literally couldn't give a rip. Beth even played the cancer card for me HARD. Hard enough that the other usher, a very nice older gentleman agreed to escort us down to the dugout. Beth was about to pass out with excitement.
We get down there and he yells, "Hey, is Joe Kelly down there?" into the dugout.
Then he comes out. He sees us and nods! Well, of course he does.... he recognizes the two stalkers from his Twitter account that my good friend Mike started a week ago!
What a great day and a great guy. Coincidentally, there was an AP photographer there who happened to also snap a picture of us and it made several websites and newspapers. The funny part of it all was... Beth got cut out of the pic for the paper haha
