Yesterday Greg and I went down to St. Louis to meet Ryan Theriot (pronounced Terry-o), the starting shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals! It was so much fun. Because of how his name is spelled, he is nicknamed "The Riot." :-) He used to play for the Chicago Cubs, but we're happy that he plays for the Cardinals because he is awesome! He also is not bad-looking (Greg agrees with me on that one) :-) He is a lot smaller in real-life than he looks on TV or even just out on the field playing. He was really nice!
Our main reason for going to the Ryan Theriot autograph signing was to have him sign a jersey we got at the May 30 game at Busch Stadium. It is a game-used jersey from the March 17, 2011 spring training game--so it is green, which makes it pretty unusual. We knew that the only thing that would make the jersey cooler than it was would be if we could get it signed. So we were really excited! All of the people at the store where he was signing autographs were very impressed by the jersey. When we took the jersey up to him to sign, Greg said, "This is one of yours." He looked at it and said, "Why, yes, it is!" So now the jersey is even cooler than it was before. Unfortunately the Cardinals aren't playing very well lately--it doesn't help that poor Albert Pujols broke his arm in the game right after we saw them play against the Royals. He is going to be out for 4-6 weeks, which is not good. But hopefully Ryan Theriot and the rest of the team can get back on track!
