The media circus was in full swing yesterday, and your ringmaster was lucky enough to snag a press pass to the All-Star bash. While most of the reporters were ga ga over the players, I was more interested in the celebs.
David Cook strolled around during batting practice, so I followed him as he chatted up the players and Sheryl Crow. He appeared to be doing what any true baseball fan would do — collecting autographs on a ball.
In addition to being a good singer, he’s a great guy. He was very generous with his time, chatting with anyone who approached and spending an eternity posing for pictures, always with the same enthusiastic smile. His face muscles must have been tired after a couple of hours but you couldn’t tell.
I watched fans toss him balls to sign, and he’d pitch them back, with a little banter thrown in. This went on for about 10 minutes.
It’s great to see a Missouri guy so genuine in his fondness for his fans.
