It’s any fan’s dream: accidentally running into the CEO of your favorite team and unearthing news that may shake the sports community.
That’s exactly what happened to Ronny Cobb, a lifelong Giants fan who moved to Sacramento after growing up in the Bay Area.
Cobb tweeted a photo of himself posing with Giants’ CEO Larry Baer in Las Vegas on Tuesday with the caption, “dude, just met Larry Behr at the Bellagio last night. Maybe he’s in town for Bryce?!?!”
He had no idea he’d be the first to break news that the Giants were there to talk to Bryce Harper, the free-agent outfielder who spent his first seven major league seasons with the Washington Nationals.
