Adam's T. Meeting


With Ryan Klesko

Here is another fans' story **in his own words** of meeting Ryan Klesko!! Enjoy the story and picture!!!


Well, here is my story about me meeting my favorite baseball player and my idol -Ryan Klesko! It was on March 17th, me and my family were in Florida on a Family vacation at Disney World, me being a HUGE Braves Fan and knowing that the Braves Spring Training complex was at Disney World begged my parents to take me to a Spring Training Game, and they did, well my mom did actually.I was real nervous, i knew that i had a better chance of meeting Ryan or any of the other Braves here than i had in Atlanta,although i had gotten Ryan's autograph in Atlanta little less than a year before, i was still nervous about the game. Well, we watched most of the game, when i noticed that Ryan was not playing, i decided to ask where i could try to get Autos, they told me where to go, and me and my mom started down there.When we got there there was alot of talk in the crowd, which was about 25-30 people.I then learned that i had just missed Chipper Jones bye about 3 mins., i was disappointed since Chipper was my 2nd Favorite Brave. but then i saw someone walking towards the crowd, i then realized it was him, it was RYAN KLESKO!!!, everyone started shouting Ryan,Ryan.. At first i thought he might just pass us, then he came closer and started sighning, i immediately got my digital camera out and my baseball and was getting ready, my heart was beating the fastest it has ever beat. Ryan was begin extremely nice, he's very down to earth., i could not believe he was getting closer, he kind of just didn't really talk to much people, just this one guy who i guess Klesko had met earlier that day or sometime in the past., then i think that guy left. And then i realized he was standing right in front of me.So, i took a deep breath and said"Ryan", he said"Yeah" i said would you mind taking a picture with me, he said"Sure, that's no problem" i had to show the girl that i asked to take the picture how to use the camera(which is kind of the reason my head barely made the picture ) ,so she took the picture and i told Ryan thanks, he said No Problem, i then gave him my ball and he sighned it, while he was sighning i said to him"Ryan, i really look up to you" he just looked at me for 1 sec and said"Wow, thanks" and asked me what my name was, i told him my name(which is Adam bye the way), he then said pleased to meet you Adam, and said to me"Thats a Nice shirt you have there, and then asked where i got it, i told him i had gotten it for Christmas, and said that my dad had gotten it while he was on a Business trip in Atlanta about a month before Christmas.He then said again it was real nice and said he didn't see much of those in the crowd. then he said well i better go, and i said Bye Ryan, he said take it easy Bud. I really enjoyed talking to Ryan, like i said he's very nice and very down to earth.



Adam and Ryan.
