Sheesh I’ve done this myself when I won a contest for the Blue Jays. It’s not hard. Just a short toss. The player caught it and then signed it for you. It’s a nice memento. My niece did the same thing. She didn’t embarrass herself either. The fact that so many famous people do embarrass themselves certainly levels out things a bit.

I can’t not believe the drawings are rigged.

In the Washington Bullets championship season I had the use of a season ticket from one of our suppliers and MY number was drawn for the Million dollar shot from halfcourt at halftime.

That was in my drinking days (any excuse is a good one) and I launched one in the general direction of the basket and missed the whole ‘gymnasium’.

The 3 of us whose #s were drawn were also ‘allowed’ to try a layup which I made and received a hamburger.

I (also) blamed street shoes for the missed shot but the ‘sharp’ ones who bothered to listen to and paying attention to my story correctly pointed out that the shoes had less effect on a ‘flatted footed’ shot from halfcourt than a ‘driving lay up’.

Oh well!!
