So I went to the Red Sox game last night with my wife, brother and his buddy. We were sitting 18th row in the bleachers underneath the scoreboard. With the Sox out of playoff contention, the past month of games have lacked their normal buzz and excitement. However, this night was a little different. I listened to a young girl in row 19, on the phone with a friend saying, "It is him. I have been to like 8 of his shows. I know what he looks like. I am freaking out!"
Even though there was a baseball game going on, my interest was piqued to find out who she was talking about. Finally, this young girl plucks up the courage to go over to a guy sitting right next to us. It turns out that 4 seats down from us in our row was Joey Fatone, of NSync, with his entourage. Anyway, to make a long story short, my brother makes some small talk with Joey and his crew.
Then, the next thing I know, during the 7th inning stretch, my brother has been handed a Nacho Libre wrestling mask and is doing the robot to "Sweet Caroline" in front of the whole bleacher section. Forget Big Papi's 54th homer or Schilling's 15th win, seeing a "has-been-boy-band celebrity" video taping my brother posing in a wrestling mask... priceless.
