Slick&Sporty: Met Alfonso Soriano and Starlin Castro

In Sept. 2011 the Cubs came to Cincinnati for a series vs the Reds. I happened to see Soriano at T-Mobile and recognized him because he had a translator. I asked for an autograph or picture but I didn't know who he was so they said no and rushed out. I quickly ran to the computer and researched, finding that it was indeed Alfonso Soriano. The next day I was ready and when I received that he came back I ran to the foodcourt and found Soriano, his translator, and another person at Sakio Japan restaurant. I asked the translator if I could get an autograph and he told me to ask Soriano. Soriano smiled and said sure as I was asking for a picture the translator asked if I knew thew other guy with them. To my surprise it was Starlin Castro, he also signed a notecard and took a picture with me. I found that Sakio was their favorite restuarant to visit while in town, and met them a few more times while the Cubs were in town. The autographs I aquired from these encounters are in my post autograph hunting at work.
Another cool note about these pictures is my future wife is in the background, you can see her to the left of me in my pic with Soriano and her elbow in my pic with Castro.
