The All-Star Game Fan Fest was a big hit. Here Cal and Mags square off in a 90-foot dash.
We learned pretty early that the slow-moving convoy could hear us pretty well. Margaret would grab the crest on her Cubs shirt and scream "Cubbbieeeees!" whenever Cal sounded the alarm, and almost every player on the team gave her a wave hello. This is Billy Williams.

Cal Ripken Jr.
Bob Gibson. Man, he's even intimidating in a parade.
This year's HR Derby masher, Josh Hamilton.
It was weird going to a parade where the paople on the floats were getting booed. And the crowd was not shy, particularly where the Red Sox were concerned. But Jonathan Papelbon had the perfect answer, simply raising his hand to show off the ring.

Easily the biggest roar of the day was for Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford. Nobody else was even close.
