A long long time ago, probably 1973ish, (totally dating myself here, which I would never actually do because I would drive myself crazy, but I digress . . .) I used to love hockey and (or more accurately) hockey players. My friends and I used to hang out at the arenas before the games, wait for the players, and get autographs.

One weekend, the Bruins were in town. A friend of a friend’s dad wrote the sports column for the local paper, and he told her which hotel the Bruins were staying at. So there we were on Sunday morning waiting for a glimpse of Bobby Orr and Derek Sanderson.

Bobby Orr came out, (wearing a pink shirt, as I recall) cheerfully signed autographs, and got on the bus. We were hanging around waiting for Derek Sanderson, when this man started talking to me. He asked me who my favourite Bruins were, and I said Bobby Orr and Derek Sanderson. He asked why, and I said they were cute (or something equally insipid). Then he asked what I thought of Phil Esposito. I said I had no idea who that was. He held out his hand and said, “Hi, I’m Phil Esposito”. He was very sweet, and gave me his autograph.

Oh, and Derek Sanderson? He eventually came out, wouldn’t talk to anyone, and got on the bus. Broke my little teenage heart.

i recently met all of the Indy Car drivers at an event in Baltimore two nights before the race. It was a dinner for fans and Indy car supporters. i found Simona De Silvestro very interesting as well as Helio Castroneves. i was not sure i would have a good time as i am not really the fan. It turned out to be a fine evening.

OMFG! JEALOUS!!! Love me some Bruins especially Bobby Orr...and furthermore, would about mess myself to have met Tim Thomas when he wore the spoked B. Or Willie O'Ree...but sadly he was way before my time.
