My Memory

Andrea May 28, 2008

I went to a Chicago Cubs baseball game during Geremi's first season 97-98. I was about 16 years old and I knew he was going to be special in baseball and that I had to get his autograph. I yelled out his name so I can get his to get his attention and he came running to me and all of the fans from right field to the seats behind first base just so I could get his autograph, I thought that was so nice, and sweet of him. We even talked in Spanish for a little bit and I've been a fan of his ever since. You will be missed Jeremi!!!!
