I don't think I mention this much on the blog but I'm really interested in cryptozoology, the paranormal, conspiracy theories and aliens. Probably more so than baseball. In fact long before we started this Padres blog Dex and I started writing a book together. We first touched pen to paper sometime in our senior year of high school. We called our book A Prey of an Abject Funk. It was about Sasquatch, naturally. The plan was we'd both start writing and then we'd tie our stories together. We both wrote a chapter and quickly realized that that's not how you write a book. It's amazing with our track record that this Padres blog ever reached 9 years old.
Maybe our crazy business ideas come from the fact that I've never been one of those people that had a dream job. Sometimes though when I'm watching Finding Bigfoot on Animal Planet, like I often do, I'll convince myself that that's what I was meant to do.
So imagine my surprise when famed squatcher "Bobo" tweeted his support of a Padres PA announcer finalist, who's trying out for his dream job. My two worlds collided.
@squatcher Thanks Bobes! Hopefully we can get some squatch calls live at Petco this summer! #PadresPA#TeamBigMac#Hometeam
