"So today, I went to the same place at the same time and he immediately recognized me from the bus window and started laughing. Then, when he got off the bus, he had a huge smile on his face and he came right up to me and signed a ball for me and posed for a few pictures."He was super cool about it, he was the one that initiated the photos too and he had a great sense of humor with it.
"I honestly just was enjoying the moment being the typical Philly fan and the fact the was able to take it and dish it out made it all the more better," Di Ianni said."And for him to get off the bus and come over to me shows what kind of person he is.
