Mark Appel not only disappointed on the field tonight, but also disappointed numerous kids and other fans who stuck around after the game to see the #1 pick and possibly get an autograph. Appel's teammates graciously exited the ball park through the usual door and greeted fans and signed autographs. Appel snuck out the back door while fans waited two hours to get a glimpse of him. Typical, give a guy a few bucks and he doesn't have time for his fans. Shame on the Valley Cats as well for orchestrating his sneak out of the ballpark so his fans couldn't see him.
