Just curious. Was anyone else here at the MLB debut of Wieters? I was. I'm a little nostalgic right now. That was June 2009, and I remember it being like a playoff game (which I only discovered how that felt in 2012 and 2014). I remember thinking of Wieters as a transformational player. I think in many ways, his arrival at least coincided with the beginning of the end of the losing years, even though he never hit the way I thought he might. I remember the night of the deadline for signing him in 2007, waking up the next morning, rushing to check and see if they signed him. I remember reading box scores nightly in 2008 to see how he was doing at Frederick and Bowie. Hope this isn't it. But if it is, despite maybe not being that 900 OPS guy I was hoping he would be, he gave us a lot of memories, and at a minimum gave us all hope during a dark time in this franchise's history.

I was at the game. He has been a very good player and I think he is the type once he is gone if he is he will be more appreciated.
