Just Met Ray!

[1/28/01]

Not the best pics, but here they are! He smiled and interacted with Trey (my 16 month old) and he was all smiles (Ray, that is)

nice! i wish i could do that

[Ravenslifer]

Nice. Now this is kind of off topic, but who's the guy next to him?

[jdynamite]

Wish I lived in the area to meet some of the players

[Ravens549]

I got his autograph 3 years ago. Nicest guy you could meet.
Those that talk smack about Ray-Ray are speaking ignorance.

[RavensAllTheWay]

How lucky you are [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png[/img]

I imagine Ray isn't just a celebrity that you can say you ran in to, but he's also the kind of a person who could impact your life just with a short conversation.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Ill trade my Ed Reed (signed white&purple) for your ray(sign) all star jersey!

Honestly if I met any of the Ravens it would be a similar reaction to a little girl meeting the Bieber.

[RivenHale]

I love that fourth picture. Honestly made me laugh aloud.

[scrock]

nice

Yeah. That's exactly how I felt when I got the 16 signatures I scored outside the players entrance before the Thanksgiving game. My wife still makes fun if me for the way I nervously patted Ray Lewis on the shoulder, lol.

[Gordo52]

Did you bow to him? lol

Pahahaha. That is hilarious, but I doubt I would have acted any differently. Some people just don't understand the emotional investment we put into the Ravens. 16??? Which ones did you get?

i met him at the mall last week (tuesday) really nice guy! firm handshake! lol interacted with everyone from kids to the adults around just a class act. hands down.

[JO_75]

So Jealous lol, but awesome job. Where was this? I'll admit, and I'm sure many people on here wouldn't know what to say to Ray if they ever met him but I wouldn't have a clue what to say, even if it was just hi lol.

[K-Dog]

You were right down the street from me. I could practicaly walk to Ellies Place.
I would have been there but I just found out about it an hour ago and I met Ray a week ago.

Man, we froze our tails off waiting for a few players after the game. I mentioned it in another thread but the very last shot of the Thanksgiving Sound FX show is of the 49ers bus pulling out and there's my wife holding up a sign as we tried to coax a few more sigs from the players hanging out in the secure parking lot, lol. Surreal.

My son was holding the car keys in one hand and a small football in the other. When we got the table where Ray was, he threw (more of a drop, but the story is cooler this way) the ball towards Ray and this was Rays reaction. Love it!

Ellies, I believe is what it was called. In Millersville. He was so genuine and really cared, so I thought from the 48 seconds we were in front of him!

correct. Ellies Place in Millersville, just off of I-97. They have a Wings-To-Go in there. Yummy.
They have a FB page so you can find out about the next signing and not miss any more like I did.

Was he trying to injure Ray??? lol jk. I'm just thankful it was a drop, I can't imagine if the pass would have been more on target!

[baadbobby]

I met Ray two years ago; class act, spiritual, friendly. I got one of those manly half-hugs from him - genuine dude.
