Smart move

When we first walked down near the Texas Rangers' dugout Saturday, I never imagined we'd get an autograph. There were a ton of people, stacked two to three deep in places, along the third base line. All told, I'm guessing at least 75.

Rather than join the throngs, though, we headed farther up the line, moving closer to the bullpen and away from the teeming mass of humanity. The move, I believe, paid off as Colin, decked out in his big black cowboy hat for Cowboy Night at the Trop, snagged five autographs from members of the Rangers organization.

Perhaps, you've heard of some of these players, from left: Doug Mathes, Omar Vizquel, Andruw Jones, Eddie Guardado and player-turned-GM-turned broadcaster Tom Grieve.

Toss in a Rays' 5-4 walk-off victory in 10 innings and a postgame concert by Big & Rich, and it's safe to say we all had a good night.
