Honey, he's nobody...

Last Saturday, we headed out to Joe Buck's for dinner and then to the Blues - well, RANGERS! - game with our pals Jennifer and Robb! Robb and Dan are both Ranger fans, in title only, as neither really follow hockey all that much - while Jennifer and I, being STL girls, are of course fans of the BLUES! The game was fun - the Blues won 4 to 1...here is Robb and Dan sitting while the rest of the Savvis Center was applauding the Blues' 4th goal!
Since the boys were spending the night at Nana and Papa's house (THANKS!!!) we headed out for drinks at Ruth's Chris at the Hyatt to meet some of Jenn and Robb's friends from the St. Louis Cardinals Winter Warm-up - where Jenn and Robb were volunteering for the weekend! ANYHOW, we got there and immediately Jenn made eyes with the fabulous piano player and the next thing I knew, she was up there singing a song!

Here she is, with one of her friends from Warm Up (and this was BEFORE any major drinking!!!)
And this picture would be AFTER!!! (after our delish bellini's that is!)
Okay so the funniest thing happened upon arrival to the hotel! All these Cardinal fans sit and wait in the lobby with their baseballs and sharpees hoping to get an autograph from one of the baseball players (Jenn informed us that none of the players even stay at the hotel - rather they sneak in a back door on the day of the event!) Anyway, one young fan runs up to Robb - who is dressed in his Rangers jersey and YANKEE hat - and says, "Hey, are you a ball player?" To which Robb quickly says "Yes!" (of course while he is still walking so he looks totally legit!) He further tells the fan that he is not signing autographs! It was seriously great! I jumped right on that bandwagon and had my pic taken with the famous ball player!
And check this out...he even signed my napkin for me!!!
So, on the way out, it happened again!!! This time, Jennifer tells the fan, "Oh, honey, he's nobody!" as Robb, Dan and I quickly exited the hotel!

Okay, so Robb investigated the Cardinals lineup and found who the young fans thought he was...

None other than Denny Reyes!!!
Robb - by the way - I think you're cuter!!! :)

Mr. Denny Reyes aka Robb you should of at least signed one auto.
On my honeymoon I sat for at least a half hour signing autographs, Papa Jack aka Johnny Bench.
