Since 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.
