Mike Love Autographed baseball

The Beach Boys performed a free after game concert yesterday (Memorial Day) at Turner Field (Atlanta Braves). After the concert (on the field) Mike Love starts walking toward the outfield where he was supposed to exit a door in right field. I knew my only chance to get to him was to run across the bleachers to those seats right by that door.

Because that section was empty, it was quite easy to navigate. No one else had the idea. I was there as he was about to leave and I handed him a baseball and Sharpie marker. He looked to make sure no one else had my idea, signed it quickly, and left. NO ONE ELSE GOT AN AUTOGRAPH! Whether it is worth anything or not, it is a great memory.
