[QUOTE="moqui, post: 2978334, member: 214"]
two years ago, i won an auction for "your kid on the field" at dodgers stadium.  came with 2 seats behind home plate, admittance to batting practice (prime autograph territory) and my son got to go to 3rd base to  meet justin turner as he took the field.  it was an awesome experience just at that.  but when we got to the stadium at 3:00 (for a 7:10 first pitch), i mentioned to the host that this was my son's first ever game.

after all the festivities, he's sitting there with autographed balls from turner & seager and a justin turner jersey . . . and magic himself appears at our seat with a bag of swag (couple of bobble heads, foam finger, etc) and a certificate commemorating his first game, which is signed by magic himself.  now my son doesn't know magic from adam (but he is awed into near silence by his size and his presence) but of course i do.  and so does everyone else around us - it's a high rollers section including larry king, mary hart, nigel lithgoe was there that night - and magic just electrifies the place.  everyone wants a piece of him, and many get it, but first he gives my boy 3 minutes of one on one time that even he realized was special.  now, i'm a life long mets fan, but he turned me into a not-so-grudging dodger fan that night.

he's a natural at that kind of stuff & what he should be focusing on  for the lakers.
