Funny story about Brian LaHair. I forget if I told this. Probably only amusing to me. Two months ago me and my work buddy were looking at Cubs minor league prospects. My buddy found LaHair and pointed him out to me because he had like 30hr's in the minor leagues . We couldn't figure out why he hadn't been called up. He's 28. It seemed long overdue, but there wasnt much buzz about him.

Fast forward two months later, September 6th. I had long stopped following the Cubs prospects for the season. Me and my work friend attend our 2nd Cubs v Reds game this season. We're sitting in right field bleachers. It's bottom of the ninth and my buddy can't wipe the shit eating grin off his face because he's a Reds fan. Castro legs one out safe to first. Two outs and they announce Brian LaHair now batting. We both look at eachother like " LaHair! Look at that! ". We seemed like the leading authority on Brian LaHair knowledge in the bleachers. Two minutes later, BOOM! LaHair jacks a bomb about 10 feet from where we were sitting. Mass fucking hysteria. Probably the most excitement I've had at a sporting event. My buddy was shaking his head. He couldn't believe it was Brian LaHair.

Amazing personal moment I guess.
