I started work on a new effort this past week to create a few pieces of art to then auction for charity, all inspired from the article in WaPo on Jose Theodore's charity/fund raising. I drew up some work, tweeted Eric Fehr and asked if he would be willing to sign the piece that features him prominently. He said he would, so I hit Kettler this morning, went to the front desk and was told to have a seat. When he came out, I explained a bit more of what I was doing and handed over one that I had created for him specifically, he signed the other for me and even took another to the back to have Green sign, as he was still around. I still have a few that I hope to get signed before putting them up, but I have a feeling, the team and organization will be more than helpful in making my effort a reality. Oh and shameless plug, check out my blog for images of some of the soon to be auctioned pieces. Every penny will go to Theodore's Saves for Kids fundraiser.

I believe I may still have a Save The Caps t-shirt or two. Save The Caps, it’s been a while since I sat in the Virgina room at the Cap Centre and made many phone calls trying to sell tickets.

I hope more fans share stories like yours. They aren't atypical, I don't think. Joe, the sport is seriously awesome, most particularly from the vantage of caliber of human being that is its player.

I love hearing things like this. I've always found the players themselves to be quite approachable and, well, human. Heck, I played in a charity hockey tournament last fall with a few members of the LA Kings organization, hung out with them a few weeks later at a minor-league baseball game, and ended up playing fantasy football all winter with them. In what other sport does that happen? It's great to hear that the Caps value, appreciate, and assist you in your quest to cover their team, even unofficially.
