This is perhaps the apt time to mention how I went to an instructional league game (I think it was the Angels’ facility) in Arizona and opted to boo Cal Quantrill mostly due to how he went to Stanford (this was also a college football road trip for me to see Cal at ASU). It turns out that I was like the only fan at that game (my Uber driver did come inside the ballpark with me for a bit) and I got a death stare from Mark Prior who was working with the Padres in some capacity then and managing the Padres Instructional League team.
[Eventually another fan showed up…he’s more experienced and was getting some autographs outside in the backfield. I got one of the foul ball, which I had to outrace one of the players not playing, signed by a napping Hideo Nomo who was there scouting (I think).]
