Three More Cleburne Railroaders

    On May 21, 2022, my family and some friends went to see the Cleburne Railroaders play the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks. Before the game we were able to catch Cesar Trejo in the dugout, and he signed our tickets. He was a nice guy, very polite, and gladly signed for us. One of our friends, who just so happens to be an extravert, enjoyed this very much. Before Trejo batted, he kept yelling "Caesar! Caesar!" Since we had home plate seats, Trejo could easily hear us, but he tried to concentrate and, for a time, was able to ignore our obnoxious friend. However, he wouldn't quit. The next time Trejo batted, it was even louder: "Caesar! Caesar! If you say hi to me I'll stop yelling at you." Trejo finally said hi to him, but (of course) he didn't stop shouting at him. It's a good thing he signed for us before the game. 
    I also got the ticket signed by Edwin Arroyo, the second baseman, and Michael Krauza, a relief pitcher. Arroyo hit leadoff for much of the season, finishing with a .316/.434/.436 slash line, and Krauza is now pitching in the New York Mets organization.
