Hall of Famer Andre Dawson was standing at the Florida Marlins batting practice cage. Erik, standing in the upper deck, told me that ballplayers can hear people in the upper deck. I didn't believe him. He said, "look, i'll show you." And that's where this video picks up.

I went to both games on Friday and Saturday. I flew from Texas to see the game. Dawson was my favorite player for the Cubs and bought a $200 authentic Dawson Cubs jersey. I felt lucky to see him throw out the first pitch and sing the 7th inning stretch on Saturday's game!
