Inspired by the way that Tony Romo used to leave tickets for Jessica Simpson at Dallas home games before he even knew her, Triple-A outfielder Daniel Nava has been leaving Erin Andrews’ name on the guest list at every Pawtucket Red Sox home game … for three years. This true obsession came to light when Pawtucket radio/TV announcer Dan Hoard mentioned it on his blog, and again on Twitter, and then discussed his Erin Love with Pawtucket radio broadcaster Steve Hyder:
Nava laughed when he was asked if he knew her. “I wish I did.” He explained that it is a long standing tradition of his, dating back a couple of seasons.
Is Nava hoping for lightning to strike twice. “I’m not counting on it, but it’d be great.” I asked what it would mean to him if Hyder and Hoard were able to spread the word and make something happen. “I’d owe you guys, big time, I guess.”
Hoard now says there’s a rumor that Amdrews will wear a Pawtucket jersey on the next Dancing With the Stars. I’ll be watching Justified, so let me know what happens.
