Tim Wood

Tim is another example of a player that would never have had a card in this set without a picture or a story. During batting practice Tim picked up a ball and was ready to fire it back to the ball boy collecting them in short center. A fan in the patio area asked for the ball and Tim decided to do the right thing and give it to him. The ball hit above the patio area and careened to an unsuspecting guy who was on the phone while drinking a beer. The ball landed right in his beer spilling it all over him. The guy did not interrupt the call even to say something to Wood. He just walked away still chatting. Wood could not stop laughing though for the rest of bp. He is shown on the card looking back and cracking jokes with some of the guys in the patio area.

This picture was taken shortly after the incident that I described above. All of those players were having a blast at the poor guys expense.
