On the Beat with Mike Squires

I have written about former Chicago White Sox first baseman Mike Squires many times. Although I briefly met him twice, I never had the chance to really chat with him until earlier this summer.

Mike was doing a signing at Midwest Sports Buffet in Bridgeview, about an hour south of me. I definitely wasn't going to miss this.

Then I saw his rep was my pal Mark Childers. I had to go for the big swing. I asked Mark about the possibility of doing a short interview with Mike. He agreed and I was excited.

When Mike's shift was done, we went into the quieter hallway. chatted a bit and did the interview.  It was about 3 minutes. Some might question the shortness. I wasn't there to do an in depth deep dive. Most of my in person ones are short, because I respect the celeb's time and it's just not the most conducive time. For me, it is just logging in a favorite of mine. The 10 year old Sox fan in my never thought he would be interviewing his favorite. Yet there I was.
