Kind of screws fans like myself that would keep it forever.

Actually got to meet him out at a Chiefs game. He was with Jamie Quark and some other Royals players tailgating. He took the time to get a picture with me, asked how I was doing, we talked chiefs and he offered me a beer-which I gladly accepted and drank it with him.
I found out he was going into have shoulder surgery the next day-I wish I would have know I would have wished him well.
I also had the pleasure to meet him again at his retirement party at Starlight. Couldn't have been nicer and more graciouse-just an all around great guy. As real as it gets. If you treat him with respect he does the same back.
At his retirement there was a line of family and friends around Leslie Brett-talking and giving her hugs-so I just got in line- said congrats and gave her a big long hug-lol About half way through the hug I think she realized she didn't know me-but smiled anyway. She is pretty hot and also very sweet.
George is the man. I am sure the people who think he is an asshole-he would think the same thing about them.
