Walt had no idea what was in the box.
He and his wife Cathy had tickets to see their hometown Chicago Cubs play at Wrigley Field that night for Walt’s birthday, but his wife insisted that they come here, to their favorite local country music bar, instead.
Confused, wearing a “DUDY GRAS 2015” T-shirt and wondering who this mystery gift was from, Walt eventually gave up staring at the box and opened up what turned out to be his favorite birthday present: a card from everyone they had met unexpectedly the year before on their first trip to the Left Field lounge, plus a signed Mississippi State baseball.
