I actually hade my own encounter with Derek at the 8/5/00 Yankees vs. Mariners game in New York. I had made a huge sign just trying to get his attention for an autograph. I was in the 1st row just out past first base. Derek saw the sign and came over while he was warming up. I asked him if he would sign it for me but he told me he doesn't usually sign during the home games. I told him if he didn't sign it then I would just have to root for his buddy Alex (A-Rod) on the other team. He got a big kick out of that and started laughing. Needless to say, I didn't get the autograph. I'm still trying though. |
