I apologize for the delay in posting this. Mainly that apology is to Erin, or Fitzy, as I call her. She is the girl on the left in the photo with Angela and me.
If I tried to tell you the wonder that is Fitzy, my words could not do her justice. Angela and I first met her last year, she was standing there with a huge sign for Tony Campana and wearing a Campana jersey. Everything looked too big for her, but everything IS too big for tiny Fitzy, and that adorable aspect is part of her charm. You can read about our meeting here: Game # 31, Cubs v. Astros....
You meet this girl, and you just LOVE her, her zest for life, her zest for baseball players, her contagious enthusiasm and spirit. You meet her, and you instantly love her and want her to be in your life forever. And it's not just weirdo baseball fans like Angela and me, and you will see that in this blog.
Anyway, after that day, Erin was a very present part in our lives through the magical wonderland of social media. We saw her again near the end of the season, and now she was back for Cubs Convention. We were all at the Kids Only Press Conference, where kids can come ask the players questions. The players were:
Anthony Rizzo
David DeJesus
Darwin Barney
Brooks Raley
And Chris Rusin
The questions were hysterical: Do you like beer? (David DeJesus: I like ROOT beer.)
You really saw the personalities come out. David DeJesus and Anthony Rizzo especially thought on their feet to some of these silly questions.
Here's Fitzy asking her question.
The players love her
Sorry, Erin. I know you are waiting for more. Be patient....
