Wednesday Night, August 25th Spinners, "Reality TV Night",

By Ann Marie [Piekos] Borges

 

Expecting a crowd like the "Stephen King bobble head night" Mom and Ann Marie started out early for the line.

Being the first in line this time, Mom had extra time to go rock climbing.  Can you believe these photos?!?!?!

 

 

Although there was no Frisbee dog again this time (Ann Marie was disappointed), we did manage to try some new baseball park food and much to our shock - really liked the popcorn chicken and onion rings.......

 

There were promises of "Boston based" reality stars to make appearances.  We were not expecting any "Survivor" contestants, or anyone we really knew of.  But we were a bit surprised when Julia DeMato (American Idol 2) Sang the National Anthem.

Then as the game progressed (was there a game ?! ha ha )  After each inning, they had a reality personality trivia quiz- (What show were they from).

 

Well - Jeanne Hebert from Survivor Amazon was there (see link)  http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor6/survivors/prof/jeanne.shtml

Let's just say she look very different.  We didn't recognize her.  I know, we call ourselves Survivor fans.

 

Also Deb Eaton from Survivor Outback showed her face http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor2/survivors/debb_b.html

 (John had guessed this earlier as a maybe to show up)

 

Anyways here is where it get more interesting,  John while going to get more concessions, he walked very close by Julia Demato.

and then this got him excited and he makes me go with him to try and stalk out more reality people......  We were wondering who else would be there....  We didn't see anyone unfortunately - and believe me we looked.  So we sat back down, and right behind us was Jeanne, signing autographs for little kids.

 

So John jumps up grabs his tiki torch and throws at me to go get her autograph (as she is walking away).  I have no writing implement, so I am gong to get a pen in my bag, but John tells me to get the sharpie (an implement preferred by celebrities, I later learned) from the little boy.  Since I did not see this writing exchange, I stared at the kids and Jeanne dumbfounded.  So John jumps into action.

 

He asks the kid to use his pen, grabs it from him and chases Jeanne down to the Gator Pit (as she is trying to exit the park with her family)  and asks her for her autograph !!

This was definitely a highlight of the night - seeing John come back all proud that his celebrity stalking paid off.

 

John also almost got a couple foul balls (now that would have just capped off the night!).

 

All in all a great night out at the old ball park.

 

 PS - Although the Spinners were looking good at the 7th inning, the lost to NJ    3-2

(yes there was a game among the rock climbing, greasy eating, stalking and chasing foul balls)
