My son, about 3? is all decked out in Royals gear. Has a ball glove on. Mr. Glass leans down and asked how your doing young man, you going to play for the Royals when you grow up? My son without missing a beat says, no, I want to play for a good team like the Cardinals or Rockies. We were aghast.... apoligized, Most of his family thought it was funny.
We got home and when we told him that was his special day and he might have insulted him. My son decided to draw him a picture of the day and tell him he was sorry. We put the drawing and letter in the mail.
About 2 weeks later we got a note from David Glass himself. He wasnt insulted, his son grew up a Cardinal fan, he hopes one day that he will chose to be a Royals fan.
Still got pics of the drawing and the orginal note from David Glass.
