Rookie Diary - Entry 1
Entry 2 – August 7, 2005


My family stayed at the Country Inn Hotel and so I met a lot of other really great, hard core Chiefs fans who were staying there. They were pretty special people themselves. I got to meet some of their kids and see how inspiring it is to play the game and how you can light up some ones eyes just by putting on a uniform and playing. I think I have an even better understanding of how good I have it. Every time it starts getting rough and tough I just think of those kids’ faces and how they felt and how they say my name. Seeing all of the people and the fans that came up from Kansas City and all of theboom1 surrounding areas makes you want to go out there and play a little harder.

We had Family Fun Night. It was a pretty special experience. While we were practicing I could hear some of the people I had met cheering for me every now and then. It seems like if you’re good to people they appreciate you so much more. It’s so much more fun to watch a game when there is some one you can relate to or know playing it. I don’t really watch baseball much, but I met a buddy in Atlanta when I was training that plays for the Cubs, catcher Michael Barrett. Now I’ve found it much more entertaining to watch the games since I know him and he’s playing it. So I try to be as nice as I can to all of these people that are so good to me. They’re already die-hard Chiefs fans, and then if they can relate to a lunch-pail carrying kid who works hard, then they might enjoy the game even more.

I hope I can meet all of you fans someday. Until next time…
