What a difference

Unlike hockey, where I've gained a reputation (among the many I have) for being able to identify most of the players, I was in foreign territory, so to speak, during an autograph session with IMSA, or International Motor Sports Association, drivers today at the St. Petersburg Grand Prix.

Other than Bryan Herta, a driver for Andretti Green Racing in the American Le Mans Series, I was at a loss to identify or even remember the other nearly 40 drivers who signed this license plate for Colin.

What I will take away, though, is the constant thought that popped into my mind after every interaction between us and a driver -- they genuinely enjoyed interacting with the fans, even the neophytes like me.
