Funny moment

Beyond the team balls, broken bats and baseballs we pick up at Florida State League games, there's often a moment that makes our outings much more memorable. Last week's came when the Daytona Cubs visited Dunedin for a Florida State League game.

Brett Jackson, Chicago's No. 1 pick in 2009, drew a lot of attention from the handful of autograph hounds at Dunedin Stadium. Of course, Colin was among the group, working his fifth FSL team ball of the season. He made sure, too, to add Jackson's autograph to his effort.

It wasn't that, though, that provided the memory. It was Jackson's farewell, so to speak, that drew chuckles as he handed the ball back to Colin.

"Here you go, stud," he said.
