THE 2007 HIGHLIGHT REEL!
Here are last summer’s top 5 “Madness” moments:
- “Autographs galore including David Wright & Gary Sheffied. I ended up with about 30 signatures on baseballs, shirts and mini bats.”
- Avery Decker, Yorktown Heights, NY
- “Behind the scenes access with stadium tours at Camden Yards, Fenway and going on the field, and into the dugout at Yankee Stadium.”
- Eli Tash, Sherman Oaks, CA
- “In Chicago, hanging in the hotel of the visiting Tigers and being able to meet, take pictures, and get autographs from Magglio Ordonez!”
- Scott Davis, Montville, NJ
- “Meeting the scout at the Nationals game and catching a homerun in batting practice.”
- Adam Pollack, Port Washington, NY
- And the highlight we voted best from 2007 belongs to Alex Estis of Roslyn Heights, NY….here is Alex’s story:
“The highlight of my summer was in Cooperstown, NY. I had the best experience of my life! Not only did I get to see the induction of Cal Ripkin and Tony Gwynn but I actually met and had the opportunity of programming Pete Rose's iPhone. I actually got to set up Charlie Hustle's cell phone. This is something that I will never forget and certainly is a story I will one day tell my kids and grandkids. What a thrill!! This was the best trip ever!!!”
