So...I was able to buy a new copy of Phill Wood's book entitled
Nationals on Parade somewhere online
:
I spoke with him on Saturday and asked if he would sign it for us if I brought it on Sunday...he said sure.
So we got to the Little Red Both after the game and Phil was very accomodating
:
He asked if we wanted it personalized, and I said sure...giving him both my name and my bride's name, and the proper spelling of each.
While he was finishing up, I noticed that he was dating it, and I told him that it was also my birthday.
He continued writing something
:
I took the book back and thanked him, saying goodbye with a warm "Eddie Yost."
When we got home, I opened the book and saw that he had included a birthday greeting:
...for my wife
We got a chuckle out of it...and now have another Nationals story...
