That's Weird Grandma Miscellaneous
On behalf of Barrel of Monkeys, the core group of sports fans IN Barrel of Monkeys, and pretty much anyone who enjoys encouraging anyone anywhere, I want to send out a huge shoutout to 16-year-old Eri Yoshida. That girl just became the first female professional baseball player ever. And I think that is totally rad.
Speaking of rad and baseball, there’s a pretty rad baseball story in That’s Weird, Grandma right now (see how I tied those together? That’s a college degree at work there, friends) about a kid going to see a White Sox game and meeting the players. We’re always in a sticky situation when we have to present actual well-known celebrities on stage, but I think we did a pretty good job with this one.
For instance, the kid met Jermaine Dye (played by Donnell):
He met Bobby Jenks (played by Curtis):
and he also met Frank Thomas (naturally, played by Tai):
Hey, Monkeys? Next year, when all the kids are writing about her, I’m calling all the Eri Yoshida parts RIGHT NOW.

Hilarious!
Curtis- thanks for dying your beard pink.
Also, I think a good thread to follow- what is your favorite BOM celebrity performance? I submit, Matt Miller are Celine Dion and Mastro as Little Richard.

I think Matt Miller as Celine Dion is before my time, and that is SAD.
However, I was there to see Elizabeth Levy as Shaft.

If memory serves, Lucas Kwan Peterson was an amazing Beyonce. He sang all his lines.
