And that's even before we talk about how beautiful he is.

What can I say? I love him. And in all my work dealings in Baltimore with professional athletes, I never met him. It was a smart decision.

In 2008, when Bubbles and I went to Yankee Stadium in the final year, we got pretty close to the field and he ran out of the dug-out. She took one look at me and said, "oh yea, good thing you never met him. You'd be all sorts of stupid."

And so, even without ever meeting him, here's to the Captain helping in the last push of the raffle. You know the drill by now....$5/ticket or 5 for $20. Use the donate button.
