    WINNER! I met him after game 2 of the NLDS in SF... had not idea he was in the park, but I'm getting in the elevator post game and sure enough, he came around the corner and got in the elevator with me... he said "now THAT was a game!"... all I could muster was "yep"... it was unreal...PM me your info... i know I should have it but I don't keep track...
