First major league game I saw in person was the Blue Jays and Braves in Atlanta. Maddux pitched against the "Misrememberer". We went to a sports restaurant in our hotel following the game. This older gentleman came up to us and was telling us how the visiting teams always stayed there and would sometimes come into the restaurant after a game. About 20 minutes later, Delgado came in with his wife. Right after, Canseco came in with a young (20ish maybe) lady. He was only 5 feet from us, and we heard him tell his lady friend that they would be leaving when "Rog" got there. Well "Rog" arrived a few minutes later, with a young blonde (20ish also). They were all decked out, and left together. The following weekend, Rog was on TV saying how much his family meant to him. I haven't liked the sob since.

The older guy I was talking about, walked his young grandson over and he asked Canseco for his autograph and Canseco cussed him out. Not the old man, the kid. They wanted NO part of anyone in the place.

On a lighter note, as we were leaving we walked past Delgado's table and he acknowledged us, introduced himself and his wife and shook hands with us. That was nice to see after the garbage from the other 2.

I hadn't given that trip much thought until this entire mess got started. Now it just makes a feller wonder.
