Alexei Ramirez meets the Alexei shirt: A photo vignette

PrintSince my Alexei Ramirez shirt doesn't serve much of a purpose in New York, I left it at my parents' house the last time I was in Chicago for a ballgame. My parents had tickets to SoxFest on Saturday. Alexei Ramirez had an autograph session at 9 a.m. They decided that the two should meet. Photos below the jump.
The shirt was folded so just the beret showed over the fold. As Alexei goes to sign it, his translator (to his right, off camera) says something to the effect of, "That's Che Guevara." That prompts Alexei to flip it over, and...
He laughs. "That's me?" he asks my mom. He then signs the shirt...
... and admires his handiwork.
The result:
And now I have to retire the shirt. Fin.

His signature
Very interesting that he spelled his name Alexi instead of Alexei. Must be finally accepting it that Sox fans call him that. For awhile he kept urging people to call him “Alesay”
This is the most awesome thing ever associated with this site.
Ever. Big, big rec.

Jim, your new job
is to come up with another “lightning in a t-shirt” by the meet-up in May so I can buy another 20+ shirts and distribute them.
