More Spring Training Fun!

These pictures always put a smile on my face !
My buddy Tom Fraser and I were in the NY Mets dugout, in Roger Dean Stadium, Jupiter. FL. We were shooting video and stills of the Vermont Expo alum. Behind us, there was a drunk heckler "dogging" Rickey Henderson for about three innings. Finally, a fan a few rows in front of him had had enough. He started to scream at the guys to shut the hell up. Needless to say, these guys got into it pretty good. Next thing I know, peanuts were raining down on me ! The drunk guy flung a big bag of peanuts at the fan, and completely missed ! The peanuts flew into the dugout, hitting me in the head. Not a huge deal, but it sure did suprise me! What made it special was that I was standing next to Rickey, and the peanuts would have hit him, if I was not there. Rickey was really POed at the drunk, but he was awesome to me, he came over and asked me if I was ok, and then hung out with us for an inning or two, chatted us up. !
Henderson has a rep of being a real nasty guy, but he was really cool to me !
