Mods, I had no clue where to put this so please move it if necessary.
About 6 years ago when I was in 4th grade, I had to do a project where I would pick a profession that I wanted to go into, and interview someone with that profession. I picked professional baseball player, but I knew it was a longshot that I'd actually get to interview someone, so I was ready to change. My mom, however, contacted the South Bend Silver Hawks (the single A team for the Diamondbacks, and the closest baseball team to here next to the Sox who are 2 hours away), and set up an interview with the starting catcher, JD Closser. He was an incredibly nice guy. He invited my mother and I to his apartment where he and his 2 roommates (also on the team) were living. He was very polite and patient with us through the whole interview, and autographed a hat and a ball for me.
About 2 weeks later when I was presenting my project, I was shocked to find J.D. there with his girlfriend. He came up to me and told me I did a nice job, and I presented my project to him. It doesn't end there, though. He continually gave my family free tickets into games, best seats in the house. And what's more, he actually came to a few of my little league games. Being a catcher, I was thrilled that a pro ballplayer came to watch me play for a change.
JD is now on the Rockies, and I would really like to contact him somehow to congratulate him on making the Big Show, and thank him again for all that he did. Does anyone know how I might go about doing this? Thanks for any help.
