No but it was at international mall. But great news on the workout schedule. I'm gonna print this out and maybe try and get him to sign it

XL5 · 01-24-2014, 12:40 PM

Great photo, congrats!

Looks like he had a pee though.

RobbinsDynasty · 01-24-2014, 12:42 PM

ok international that's the one around the corner from the complex right? I spend plenty of time around the fields but not much place else. usually hit the fields then take my kids to busch gardens or the zoo. but that would be cool to get it signed

YanksBillsFan · 01-24-2014, 12:43 PM

That is absolutely cool!! I don't get star struck, but I would be a trembling girl if I ever met him. Thanks for sharing!

F'n classic. That is actually beyond hard to do too. I'm not much for idolization but when you see someone famous and you weren't expecting it it's very hard to play it cool and not go all 13 year old girl. Then again you were rocking a pink shirt so you are obviously a man's man. Too bad about being a Yankees fan though. We were so close.

Yadi I barely bothered (whispered "good luck" on the way back from the restroom as to not draw attention, since no one recognized him... Yadi is notorious for being the opposite of fan friendly, so I knew my limits), but it sounds like your interaction was a bit more meaningful.

Nice encounter OP!

I met Pagnozzi at a bar in Chicago after a game. Also met Keith Hernandez at The Trainwreck in Westport Plaza of all places. Had Mark Grace throw me a ball at old Busch stadium for my then 8 year old son to throw back (we were the only ones in Cubs hats in the bleachers during warm ups) but my son said I was embarassing him and he wouldn't throw it back. LOL 1979 I met Mike Krukow (pitcher) after a sports banquet. My then girlfriend's dad convinced him to stop by their house for birthday cake (gf's birthday). Funniest thing was he took a 7oz Miller pony with him for the drive back to the city. Met Andy Van Slyke last year at work as well - real nice guy.

Hover hand or no?

Cubs · 01-24-2014, 01:17 PM

Thats really awesome!

secbigazn · 01-24-2014, 01:23 PM

What's cool is that he was chill and good enough to let you take a pic with him. I can't stand the Yankees (as a Sox fan), but it's great to see that Jeter is as classy off the field as he is on it. It's a far cry from some atheletes I've met (*cough* Frank Thomas *cough* Bonds *cough cough*).

Congrats on the experience, glad you were able to capture it.

WhacksPacks · 01-24-2014, 01:24 PM

Was trying for a while to figure out which ball player the dude in the pink shirt with the hairy arms was and it was frustrating me I couldn't get it...thennnn I saw jeter..Oops

Tzvih123 · 01-24-2014, 01:39 PM

Lul he looks like derek jeter.

Cmon guys, no guy making the bank that Jeter makes goes to Westshore anymore. It's International Mall or nothing!

All I have to say is that not too many men can wear pink, but you sir, you make it look fashionable!

Now, who is that bald guy on the left?

This is so awesome. This is probably the only thing ever that would make me want to live in the city- baseball is always nearby.

Congratulations on the meeting man, truly something to cherish!

RobbinsDynasty · 01-24-2014, 02:55 PM

When in the area of tampa you never know what player or players you will run into especially this time of the year. with all the teams in the immediate area

W_Raoul2 · 01-24-2014, 05:15 PM

VERY cool. Had to be a lifetime moment to meet the Captain.

I've had some awful experiences like that, so it's glad to hear he's somewhat alright with it. I'm sure he gets it a lot.

Thanks for sharing!

If I recall correctly, Will was arrested after Kershaw's security contacted the police and notified them that a naked male was loitering around the Kershaw Estate.

I would understand if you didn't ask him this, but seriously, you should've asked him! We're all dying to know!

This would be the first thing I would ask Derek Jeter if I ever met him. Second, actually. First I'd ask him why the Yankees suck so much
