mmf, so there i was, at the cut out section of the stands, munching away on a massive, juicy burger. it was the pre-introductory game of the season, and everyone was buzzing with excitement. i couldn't help but overhear a request from the person sitting next to me, asking for an autograph from their favorite player. they wanted to renew from the outset their connection with the team. little did they know, sitting undercover among them was a former star player, enjoying the game just like any other fan. it's moments like these that truly show the beautiful, uniting power of sports, bringing people together from all walks of life.
