Close Call...

Okay...I almost, I mean almost crapped myself this morning! I had taken my Griffey Jr. Signed Baseball out of the case for a few moments just to admire it, when I felt the call of the bathroom. I know, I know, too much info. I had set it back down, but not in the case as it takes a few moments to do that.
I came back only to find the most gigantic spider I have ever seen in my home crawling on the baseball!!! I didn't know what to do. I wanted to cry because it was on my baseball and it was huge and really scary. So, I patiently waited for the spider to move. I sat here for 3 hrs or better watching it so when it did move I could go in for the kill. And I did.
Needless to say....Griffey Jr. is back where it needs to be.

Anyone else have a crazy story like that?

    You should have taken out one of your griffey signed bats at that point and bashed the spider into guts and legs.

    You should just be fortunate that the spider didn't eat the baseball.

    Hopefully you had the presence of mind to check the ball for eggs. It was on there a long time

    And I thought the story about the baseball exploding because it was full of spiders was a myth........








    Or was it a cactus? I can't remember.
