Dinner with Derek

Last week when I was in Toronto for a work-related event, me and a few people from the office had a late dinner at ONE Restaurant, which just so happened to be connected to The Hazelton Hotel  -- our home while in town.  It's quite a Toronto hot spot, or so we were told by several people, including the cute young woman at the hotel who gave me my "room orientation" (they feel the need to show you how to work the automatic curtains).

It just so happened that the New York Yankees were in town playing the Toronto Blue Jays.  The game ended in time for Derek Jeter and some unnamed male to sit down at the table next to us for a somewhat lengthy dinner.  He was no more than 3 feet away from me for the next 2 hours.

Towards the end of the night, when it was just my table and his table left, in walked Jason Giambi and a few members of his posse.  They sat down for a drink or two (and we decided to stay a little longer hoping that we'd hit the trifecta . . . A-Rod). 

Jeter looks the exact same in person as he does on TV.  Except he had bigger feet than I would have thought.

Giambi looked a little older in person than on TV, but the guy is built like a brick shithouse.  The moustache was big, bushy and very dark in color.  Jason also has a big ass that looked pretty hot in the jeans he was wearing.

They left for the Hilton, and we all went to bed (in a much better hotel).
