I have met and talked with Uecker on at least 4 occasions, and I don't want to say "split personality" but, 1 time he was a jerk, twice he was real cool, the other time just middle of the road, I also heard both extremes from other people who have met and talked to him I can't really tell my best Uecker story here, the cuss filter would blow up The general similarities in Uecker stories seem to be that he is "a jerk" when having to do something out of his way, or bothered when he is away from the park, on his own time As for the ball, I would be giving up an awesome thing, I would want something just as awesome back. I have a 20 pack, and go to 5-10 games on top of that, so the tickets really don't have the same worth to me as meeting the guy or getting a jersey (even if the $$$ value is the same). The people who made the deal, (which is fine for them) weren't crazy rabid Brewer fans, so the deal worked for them. I give the Crew huge props for giving anything to the guy the ball bounced off of, very classy.
