My Run In With Ryan Howard

[jackal]

Went to Subway for lunch today.... go in order my sandwich, walk out... As im walking out two guys in front of me leaving say "hey you know who that black guy is over there with the white chick?"

of course I say no.... turns outs its Ryan Howard... I go back in ask him if I get a baseball would he sign it.. He said "As long as I'm still here, sure"

So I speed over to Modells and get a baseball... steal a pen from the front counter there, and go back. Hes still there, he asks me what I ordered for lunch, I told him to get the wraps cause they are the best haha. Then he said he is on the jarret diet haha.

I wished him luck and thanked him for making me a "ton of money this year" he smirked and I left..

Overall, awesome treat on a Monday afternoon!

What a breath of fresh air. If it had been Barry Ass Hole sitting there, the anwser would have been either "fuck off" OR "I'll do it for a hundred bucks" Howard is the way ball players used to be 50 years ago, before there were places set up for players to sign autographs for cash. He sounds like a super guy and I'm not just saying this because he is going to win me ten thousand dollars. That just makes him even more super.

Ryan Howard is awesome. I had many chats with him while he was in Reading (AA).

My question is how do u not know what he looks like...lol...especially considering he is gonna make u bank

The chick had a big hook nose... shes was borderline hideous.

I figured if she was someone special, theres no way they would be at Subway.

I didn't tell him exactly how I made the money off of him, I don't think athletes like to hear or know about that stuff.

What was funny is when I went back in there and was waiting for him to sign it, people were staring at me like a was a looney. He is definiately a nice guy, horrible penmanship though!

LVJimmy: When I went in there all my South Philly Tendencies said were "Let the black guys take up all the fat and ugly white girls, good for him"

It was kind of like when I was coming back from vegas in July... Peter Forsberg was on my plane, but I had no clue who he was until the taxi driver told me. Its different when you see them in street clothes I guess
