Autograph Hounds almost killed the night

At this point, I don’t know what’s worse: Paparazzi or autograph hounds.

Last night we went to the Diamondbacks vs. Marlins game (pictures coming soon) with the sole purpose of seeing Mr. World Series hero, Kirk Gibson. After the devastating game in which Andrew Miller got rocked, Dan Uggla left injured, and the Marlins ultimately lost, the night almost came to an abrupt end when idiot autograph hounds pissed off Mr. Gibson.

As usual we were the first to arrive to the back of the stadium by the team buses, followed by a group of teenagers none older than 18. When the game ended a mob of autograph seekers showed up, close to 50 of them and since we had the prime spots taken, they ended up behind us.

Micah Owens, Tom Candiotti, and many Diamondbacks players signed (photos coming soon) BUT when Gibson showed up in his Porn Mustache all hell broke loose. Tatiana, myself, and the group of kids were being hit left and right by clipboards, people were shoving and pushing, and Tatiana’s feet were getting trampled which caused me to push people off her. The night was a disaster.

After about 5 minutes of signing Tom Candiotti left upset and Kirk Gibson gave three warnings to the crowd to stop pushing until he finally turned around and headed for his bus, missing the photo-op with the Infamous Tatiana. Thankfully, our angel and best friend at Dolphin Stadium, “Mitch” saved our asses when he walked over to Gibson and whispered a few words to him.

The next thing I remember is Kirk walking up to us and posing with Tatiana. You will get to see all those photos in a couple of hours.
