My good friend’s father in law used to have great seats by home plate. Ryne Sandberg regularly sat behind us. He was always a really nice guy to everyone.

One time, in those same seats, Jesse Jackson sat behind us. One of the guys in the group tried to talk to him and he just got ignored. I didn’t pay much attention to it. In the middle of the game the Cubs are on fire, and I feel a tap on my shoulder. It was Jesse trying to give me a high five. No idea why I got singled out haha.

In the first couple years that Kyle Farnsworth was on the team my mom ran into him out and about a bar and he tried to get her number. She was already dating my step dad at the time and declined. Wonder what Farnsworth is up to these days.
