Some fans camped out overnight to make sure they were the first in line to meet the World Series MVP. The line of fans outside of the store stretched the length of the mall and even around the corner.
“He’s just amazing and he doesn’t praise himself,” said Jessica Corpus, a fan of Seager’s. “He’s always praising everybody and he just goes out there and does what he loves, and you can just see it.”
About 600 fans were able to get Seager’s autograph Saturday afternoon. CBS News Texas’ Olivia Leach asked the MVP why it was so important for him to be there with fans.
“They supported us,” said Seager, “and to be able to come out and enjoy the support… nobody wants this to end, winning is fun. This is what it’s about and why we do it, and to be able to enjoy it with everybody.”
If you missed your chance to meet Seager on Saturday, on Sunday Adolis Garcia will be signing autographs at the Academy Sports and Outdoors store in Arlington from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
