Met Bob Boone today(Strasburg related)

[ryanhoward06]

My dad and I went to a card show/autograph show today. Bob Boone along with other 1980 Phillies were there. When we first got up there I asked him if the Nationals will take Strasburg with the first pick. His response, "You better believe it".

The line for Boone was pretty deep at the beginning, but at the end nobody was there. I decided to get another ball signed(to go with a 1980 W.S. ball and a Vet chair with 1980 guys). We got to talking and he gave me some great advice about how to get in to baseball. Diffidently something I will never forget.

For those who don't know he is there assistant GM & VP, Baseball operations.

Just some more info to back up that they will take him.
