Hey Everyone,

I just happened to stumble across this article on ESPN.com and thought you'd all enjoy it.

Approximately 2.6 million Americans lost their jobs last year. One of them couldn't have been happier about it.

His name is Lionel Rodia, of suburban Philadelphia, and if they ever build a national Fan Hall of Fame, what he did in Game 5 of last year's World Series should get his face on the logo.

Somebody told me about this story this weekend and I didn't believe him, I thought it was like some kind of urban legend!

Way to go Lionel!! He would probably be great at sales since he is so bold! Hopefully someone will see his story and give him a great job!
