Chapter 556 Mother's Day

KK said he was going to sleep for a day, and had no interest in going to the stadium at all, so Shen Qin could only give him the prepared food and then drive people to the stadium.

“Do you want to buy a parking ticket in advance?”

"Turn ahead." Yuri pointed, "Go to my parking space."

The player's back number is wrapped in a circle in front of the player's exclusive parking space. Speaking of this, there is an interesting story, that is, the rookie and rookie took the old man's seat, and then the entire car was wrapped in tape.

Mother's Day is a sea of ​​pink. Many young parents have brought their chubby and drooling children to the stadium. Although the Cardinals fans have always been very supportive, today it seems that there are even more.

Shen Qin started to get nervous now: "Will the venue be full?"

"Sure!" Yuri teased a little funny: "Don't be nervous, go directly to the practice area indoors, you can practice for a while, they are all 'professionals', there shouldn't be any problems practicing now, right? I started practicing in half a month~"

"Ah!!! I should have known that I practiced yesterday! You still asked me to go shopping!"

"It's okay, don't be nervous! If Coach and Xi Chuan are bored, they can go to the upstairs box first. Ji Jia is on it, and there are many delicious food."

Xi Chuan was not interested in practicing, but Kou Chi wanted to go, but Yuri dismissed him by chatting with Ji Jia, and then turned around and asked Shen Qin to push him to the lounge: "There will be a small interview later, and there is still room for You introduced the part of the stadium, but you have been hanging around here since you were a child, and you have been familiar with it for a long time, so I will spare you this point!"

"Oh! Huh? Interview what?"

"They're all non-problematic words. Our reporters are very gentle. Don't think too much, just say what you have."

While the two were talking, they came to the cardinals' lounge. The players were still warming up on the court at the moment, and it was empty~
But Shen Qin is still very excited, those jerseys are hanging neatly in those cabinets~ I really hope that I can wear them one day: "I, can I have a jersey of my own today?"

Kick-off guests have always been able to get a kick-off team jersey. Although the back numbers are meaningless, their names are indeed printed on them.

"There is a surprise!"

"what? What!"

"It won't be a surprise if you say it!" Yuri pointed to the cabinet in the middle: "Mine!"

"I know!" Shen Qin drilled into Yuri's closet many times, and there were a lot of clothes in it.

Yuri urged him to go over and take a look, but when Shen Qin walked in, he was still confused: "Where do you want me to look?"

"On top, on top, on top!"

Shen Qinpa pulled out a bunch of pink bats: "Are these for me? Crab crab!"

"No! I put two boxes of pink bats at home every year. No matter how you don't use them to play, they are the weight and size you are used to. Take off the top box."

"I'm not willing to fight, so I'll hug some over this time." Shen Qin took out the box in the top compartment: "Is it shoes? Special pink shoes for Mother's Day? Although you are injured, I can sign sneakers with you." Didn't give it to you?"

"Yes, but I can't wear it, and it doesn't fit your foot size..."

Whoa whoa whoa!Shen Qin shook open the clothes in the box, and it was a Cardinals jersey. The number under his name was actually '4'!
Yuri's back number is '4'. If the 20-year contract extension comes down, he will definitely retire with the St. Louis Cardinals. So in terms of his achievements, the jersey will naturally be retired. No one on the team can wear this number anymore!

For a player, this is both an honor and a responsibility. Shen Qin folded the jersey and handed it back: "I can't have this."

"Huh? Why? Don't you want to come to the linnets?"

"Of course I want to, but I can't decide this kind of thing, and even if I really come here, I can't ask for your back number! Can I consider 41?"

puff!Yuri, who was about to impress the child with words, took a sip! The current user of the back number 41 is this guy's idol Taylor!

This little fan mentality is really enough...

"Do you wear it or not?"

"Don't wear it!"

Yuri put on an aggrieved face: "Even my son abandoned me! We are all one family, so there is no problem in wearing the same back number!"

Huh? "That's right!"

"Didn't you see that the children of other players also wear their father's number?"

That's it~ Shen Qin obediently put on the ball uniform: "What else?"

"The others are here!" A middle-aged man in a suit came in with a pile of hats: "The pink one is for today, and you can choose others."

In the major leagues, the management of each club is collectively referred to as the uniform group, such as the general manager. The members of the uniform group, as the name suggests, wear neat orthodox suits for a long time, and the Cardinals especially like to tighten the waistline British style.

"Mr. Moore."

"Hello." Moore put his hat on, looked back at Yuri, saw him nodding, and then continued: "Yuri said you don't like formal interviews, so let's go to the indoor shooting practice place." ?Nobody."

Shen Qin couldn't wish for it, and left after the answer, and winked at Yuri by the way, they were a year ahead of other teams!
"Qin Qin, take it easy, next year you will probably have relative exchanges with the management of many teams."

"Huh? Why? Not after the draft?"

"The draft is roughly like this. Any team has a series of rosters. For example, the Cardinals. If their first-round pick is 19, of course they can't lock only one player in front of them, but they will Excluding a series of suitable ones, if it is their turn to sign and the player they want the most is selected, they will be drafted, so these players will be contacted in advance, and whoever is their turn will count."

Shen Qin's eyes widened, and he became excited: "That means there will be a lot of ball groups coming to contact me?"

"It should be said that all teams do it. It is very important to have a good relationship, so you have to get used to it. The agent will also have a lot of words. I asked Nishikawa about this the other day. Anyway, we will talk about it when the time comes. No rush, I prefer you to find one. There are more connections in Asia. The value of American baseball players is on the court, and the rest of the commercial value is really limited, so agents will not let you go in the Asian market, and the major leagues will support you unconditionally. Wow! Qin Don’t forget me when Qin gets rich!”

Shen Qin smiled, what was said earlier was good, but what happened to the sudden explosion at the end? "I'll give you all the money I earn! Give it to Jiajia and the little baby!"

"Stupid boy." Yuri scratched his head: "Let's go! Go to practice! Qin Qin is a pitcher today!"
