Today was one of the days where the Twins had players signing at the three Pro Shops. Cami told me she wanted to add to her baseball that was started last weekend by Jesse Crain so she wanted to go see Brendan Harris at the Roseville Pro Shop. We got there just as he showed up and sat in the car for a bit while the line shortened up. When we walked up to him he smiled at Cami and she asked if he would sign her baseball with “To Cami”. He wrote “To Cami, Best Always, Brendan Harris”. She thought that was really cool. I had him sign a 16×20 team celebration photo to which he commented “Wow! Cool!” upon seeing. Then he signed a couple cards for my Twins team collection.
Once we got back to the car, I asked Cami if she wanted to get another autograph for her ball and she said she did so we headed to Apple Valley to get Mike Redmond’s autograph. By the time we got there, nobody was in line so we walked right up. Cami asked if he would sign her baseball “To Cami Kat” so he did. Then she gave him a couple Marlins cards. He held one up and asked her if he looked younger now or back on the card. She did not get it so he said “You are supposed to say now.” We laughed and I pulled out a 16×20 photo of a team celebration and he signed that and a couple other cards for my Twins team collection. Probably the coolest part of the whole thing was when I asked him if he got to pick his at bat music. He said he did and I asked him if it was a reference to his infamous naked batting practice he had while playing for the Marlins. He smiled, laughed and said it was. In case you do not know his batting practice song it is the verse part of Jermaine Stewart’s song where he sings “…we don’t have to take our clothes off to have a good time…” from the song of the same name. That was cool. It was a fun time for both of us capped off by later going to the Twins game and seeing them win!
