"I hate that guy," Guillen said jokingly on Saturday. "Rad would get you 0-for-4 and you'd go home wondering, 'How did he do it?' That's the type of guy he was. He was one of the best pitchers they had in a long time."
When I was 15, I went on a church retreat in order to "graduate" from confirmation. It was the summer of Brad Radke's 12 game winning streak/20-win season, and Radke was to sign autographs the same Saturday as the retreat at Mall of America. After begging friends and relatives, I convinced my Grandma to make the trip for me to get my scorecard signed.
It turned out that the bus to the retreat made a "surprise" visit to MOA to go on rides at Camp Snoopy, which I sneakily snuck out of to wait in line for a Radke signed Sears brand ball. I got to the front of the line, shook his hand, and got the thing signed. I barely, barely made it back onto the bus to go God knows where (no pun intended), and had to keep the ball hidden to ensure no one knew of my debauchery.
