ON this date in 1999 - Garth Brooks attended spring training camp with the San Diego Padres as a non-roster player.

The Padres Foundation agreed to contribute to the Touch 'Em All Foundation in lieu of a salary to Brooks.

Little known fact: the foundation was actually a front for Bun Man to work his magic w/ les femmes.

He often told Mr. Purple "I ain't dying till I touch 'em all!"

OOPS, THE SECRET IS OUT.
