I made Juan Uribe

PrintOn August 15, 2009, at Citi Field in Queens, I walked up to within five feet of Juan Uribe as he stood in the Giants’ visiting dugout.
He wasn't in the lineup, even though it was just a few days after he did this: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SFN/SFN200908120.shtml.
Holding a thumbs up, I told him: "Hey Juan, really great hit the other day, great timing, thank you." He smiled and said “Thanks, man,” and he nodded his head several times before turning his attention to the game.
No single fan can really make a difference, of course. But on a night like tonight, after seeing the past two games, I’m going to delude myself into thinking I bolstered Uribe's clutchiness.
I mean, that stuff doesn't just happen naturally.
