I know this is a small photo, but it was the only one I could find with Willie Harris in a Braves uni. So ... why the hell am I posting about Willie Harris? Who is he? What has he done that has propelled me to post about him?
Well, for starters ... he's from Cairo, Georgia. That's Grady County ... and there, they are cooouuuuuuuunnntreeeeeeeee! I've never met Willie Harris, but I am definitely looking forward to that day ... I'll determine then if he is actually country ...
Oh, and yes ... I will meet this guy. Ya see, his fiancee is a former student of mine ... and his soon-to-be-mother-in-law is a CURRENT student of mine! Willie was just called up from Triple A Richmond two days ago ... and when I got the word I almost screamed! This is the coolest thing in my world right now (graduation week is upon us so this is a GREAT distraction).
The game was great tonight (http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/news/gameday_recap.jsp?ymd=20070502&content_id=1943033&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=atl). I am excited about tomorrow, too, which will also be great. Anita, Willie's mother-in-law-to-be, is coming by my office with a signed baseball ... signed from Willie!
Do y'all have ANY idea how much I'm hoping to meet him in person? Get tickets to a game? Get invited to the wedding? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh geeez ... this is too much ... gotta lie down ...
My oh my ... now all I have to do is meet someone related to Smoltz ...
:-)
