The Get Down Guy Name
My mom is awesome. She’s writing a bunch of family stories and publishing them to a private blog for our family to read, and in one she explained the history of The Get Down Guy:
1986
William, Philip, Mary, Tipton, and I attended a University of Texas baseball game at Disch-Falk Field. Philip was playing t-ball, and we were going to see the big guys play. And of course there were hot dogs to be eaten, stairs to be climbed, tunnels to run through, and other folks to check out as well as watching the game.Philip watched some of the game, and he wandered around a bit exploring. He was old enough to have some freedom in the stadium.
Will was about two and a half. He just watched the game. He did not ask to go places or to follow Philip around.
We were more than a little surprised at how intently Will was following the action. He stood and watched. He sat and watched. He ate and watched. He watched!
About mid-way through the game William turned to Tipton and stated, “When I be big, I be The Get Down Guy.” He pointed to the catcher.
So there you go. That’s how this blog got it’s name.
