I met Lance Berkman along with his wife and one of his daughters last night. Could I be any more excited? I really don't know but I'm sure if it had been Luke Scott someone would have had to call the paramedics. They were very kind and patient. I suppose waiting on the perfect pitch has developed this great patience!
I saw him from a distance and I had to move in closer and closer to be sure it was him. Then, when I was right beside him and Cara I put my hand on his shoulder and said "excuse me, are you ... oh never mind" I was to embarrassed to say hey you're Lance Berkman ... I need therapy. And he just smiled and said "what is it" and when he spoke I closed my eyes and said "keep talking" and then I turned to him and said "yeah your him!"
I proceeded to share with him that I was a great fan of Astros baseball and the fact that I was so calm was a miracle of God. He just laughed and chatted with me. He was so friendly and affectionate and his wife is so great! We chatted about their church and family. Good stuff!
The best part of the whole thing was after I had talked with him for a good 5 minutes, I realized I had not introduced myself and I extended my hand and said "Hi I'm Lori Latham and what is your name?" and as he extended his hand I slapped him in the arm and said "oh gosh, I know who you are, I am such a dork!" I mean seriously why do these things happen to me? He just laughed and gave me another hug. I got three before we parted ways. Yes, I counted them.
