This made my evening --
Tonight members from the police department from the City of Peabody and
current/former Bruins' players played a charity softball game to benefit
the Jimmy Fund. The starting centerfielder was none other than former
Bruins and Black Bear defenseman Bob Beers. He had a nice base hit, and
made a couple of great catches in the field.
Between innings, the players signed autographs. I was lucky enough to get
Beers' autograph. While he was signing my picture (all I had was a picture
of the old Boston Garden being torn down), I mentioned to him that the only
thing I was more passionate about than the Bruins were the University of
Maine Black Bears. This yielded a big smile and a sincere thank you. I
also told him to ask Harry Sinden to give Peter Ferraro a chance!!
Call me crazy, but getting his autograph was more exciting that getting Ray
Bourque's.
