While cleaning my room, I came across a diary I got in February 1998 (when I was about 8 years old). It only had 5-10 entries in it, so I read them all. It was quite amusing! I have to share these:
August 21, 1998
Today is Friday. I just got back from a vacation. I went to Big Bear Lake!!!!! I can’t wait till school starts!!! It starts in 4 days! I probably won’t write in this for a long time ‘cause I haven’t for like 3 months! Anyway, I can’t wait till school starts!!!! Except that people are mean and they laugh when you fart. They are sooo mean! They tease eeeverybody! I can’t believe it! Well anyway. It is 8:52! Gotta go! Bye!
August 22, 1998
Today is Saturday. I am going to a Wedding Reception. Only a RECEPTION. NOT a Wedding. The Wedding was in HAWAII! Well anyway, I’m late! The Reception is in San Ramon! I’m leaving about right now. Actually, I’m leaving later ‘cause Daddy’s getting gas. I’m soooooooo late! I was supposed to leave at 11:00. But now it is 11:16! Anyway, I Gotta Go! Bye!
And on the first few pages of the book, there are multiple donut-like drawings. Next to one of the donuts is written “(A PEEKING DETECTOR)” and at the bottom of one of the pages is a warning that says “Don’t Go Past! If You Go Past Anymore, You Will Get Poisoned By A Peek Detector!” The tops of each of the next 30ish pages has “Don’t look! [donut] Stupid! [donut]”
Wow, I was quite a silly little 8-year-old.

Most of you won’t understand why this person is my role model and you’ll probably think I’m some kind of nut or something, but whatever.
Ida, Lindsey and Lauren are the only ones in the world that do understand why and they don’t judge and I love them even more for it <3
Nate Schierholtz.
That’s all I’m going to say on this.
I loove youuu!! <3 And Nate Schierholtz, just because of how wonderful he is to you. :)

“By the way, every player has walk-up music at home when he comes to bat or takes the mound. Most players choose their music with great care. When I asked Posey about his walk-up song, he said he wasn’t aware he had one and had no idea who picked it.” — Scott Ostler, San Francisco Chronicle (from an article about Buster Posey)
“I had a guy last year - a guy, now - above the dugout in Visalia saying he wanted to have my babies.” — Buster Posey’s response to “What is the strangest thing a fan has ever said to you?” (in Giants Magazine)
