This page is dedicated to my favorite baseball player of all time.  I grew up watching George Brett play baseball.  I imitated his swing, his stance, and his play.  I've even been lucky enough to stand on the same baseball field as George Brett.  He represents everything that is right with baseball.  He has provide more memories to more people than he can possibly imagine.

THANKS GEORGE!!!

January 30, 2001

I had the distinct pleasure to meet George Brett today at the Missouri Capitol.  I had never met George before and I was happy to know that - while I'm sure he didn't really want to - he autographed a baseball for me and even talked briefly with me about Cooperstown when I told I was there for his induction to the Hall of Fame.

THANKS AGAIN GEORGE!!!!

I think when George goes to Heaven, there will be the Babe and Gehrig and a few of the really, really great ones all hanging around together, and one of 'em will say:  'Hey, that's George Brett.'
