Jasonisms

Grabbed the photo below with my Android and edited it quickly with Snapseed. I liked the black and white treatment of this image the best. Below is the original image:

There is so much history I don't know. #baseball https://nyti.ms/2oZSNpx

Jason Salas made a post on Google+ about celebrity encounters. His post reminded me of this experience when I was 19ish, maybe 20. My dad was president of the Chamber of Commerce back home when they helped volunteer at a celebrity golf tournament. I was conscripted to volunteer as well while I was on leave from the Army. Two things happened: 1 - I hit on a really hot girl only to have her friend snub her nose at me. I later learned she (the one I hit on) was the girlfriend of one of the celebs, Bret Michaels. 2 - A guy came over and asked if I wanted to carry his golf bag. I said something smartassed to him about him looking fit enough to carry his own and since I was on leave from the military I wasn't there to sweat. My brother, in disbelief, told that was the center-fielder for the Pirates (at the time). I can't recall his name.
