After a few days off I returned to our office to meet up with Steiner's newest exclusive Yadier Molina. I must admit that I did not think I was going to like Molina. After all he was the guy that prematurely ended the Mets season with that clutch 9th inning homerun off of Aaron Heilman. It turns out that I really liked the guy. Yadier is extremely nice. We talked about that game, the World Series, hot stove baseball and today's football games. I told Yadi about my trip to St. Louis a few weeks ago and about how much I enjoyed speaking with Tony LaRussa. Molina, just like all his teamates, loves playing for Tony. We got some incredible product signed including photos of the monumental Game 7 NLCS homerun as well as World Series caps. I even got a few web exclusive 16x20s with inscriptions. The pieces came out great.
I found out yesterday that the Mets open up the 2007 season in St. Louis on a Sunday night. I am already planning my trip out there for it. That also happens to be the game where the Cardinals will receive their well-deserved World Series rings. As much as it will pain me to witness it I am extremely happy for Yadier, Soup and Tony LaRussa. We could not have asked for better guys as Steiner Exclusives.
Check back throughout the week as there will be a lot going on including a Friday trip down to Tampa.
