Okay lets see ..

We got there and thanks to Am and Nic we got to talk to him before the game. They'll prob tell you bout that, won't steal their thunder, but anyway, yeah.. we got to talk to him at the beginning. Didn't talk about much then I don't think. Haha, I don't really remember. But yeah, he is a back rubber! and a very nice hugger. We each got our pic w/ him then. I got his CD signed finally.

Um, onto the game. He was fast. Constantly doing stretches. Haha, my friend was like "Is he stretching every time you look? or is it just me" But hah like the first ball that was hit to him..he completely over ran it! Mike Leech was yellin out to him making fun of him and then goes to Kathy & Jerry, "Hey, you still have time to change your name!!" It was pretty funny. But Justin was just having fun, after he missed it, he goes, "Hey!! that's why I sing!!!" After that he made some pretty nice plays. He's pretty fast in running the ball down. I think he only got up to bat twice. The first time he had a nice single up the middle and went around to score, I think, his team's first run. Hahah he slid into 3rd in a very awkward way. I mean, he had shorts on so had he slid the right way, it would have hurt, so he kinda just like..slid over the base on his butt. It was funny, then he got up laughing. His second time up he popped out to the pitcher.

After the game, Nic wanted to get signed for someone so we went out onto the field and when he was done signing a bunch of autographs out there, he came over by us and he was like "Can we go in the shade?" so we walked off the field, but stood in sun again. We're standing there and I feel something poking on my arm and I turn around and Jerry is handing me the pic, the new promo pic, the nice one..you know in the blue shirt, but it was black & white. So I was like "uh, guess I'll get another autograph." Then, I thought maybe my friend Colin would want one, but I was selfish and I was like, "No, you prob don't want this picture..but I do" so I gave it to Justin to sign again.. Colin said "yeah it'd look a lil weird if i had that pic hanging on my wall" and Justin laughed and made a face like "Yeah please don't!" Colin was like, "Yeah, I can put you up next to my Michael Jordan pictures." and J was like "Haha, well that would mix in a little better." I told Justin that that picture was VERY nice and he thanked me. So as we were leaving, Justin stuck out his hand and thanked us again for coming. Now his hand shakes are very nice and um, hard.. so I squeezed harder to try and out do him. So he squeezed harder.. making me squeeze as hard as I could and he did this little growl thing like trying to be mean.. and did this weird thing w/ his arm. and then that was it.

Over all, Justin is incredibly beautiful and the nicest guy. I love him! I only took a few pics because I saw lots of other people there with cameras and figured their cameras were better and the pics would be up anyway.
