Lela Gallentine:  

So... yes, I got tickets to the game, people where running out and buying me things like a baseball card collection (my ex gave to his nephew), baseball caps, I had gift certificates for all the restaurants in the valley that I didn't even have to use for 6 months because I was recognized as "the lady with more balls than most men" and someone would pick up the tab. This ended up being such a media thing that even Mom saw it on the news in Portland. I recorded it on VHS later that evening. It was fun, but I don't think I'll ever do it again. I had to sleep with a ski cap on because my head was too cold for me to be able to fall asleep. Other than that, I just went around bald, no big deal. And it was interesting how sensitive your head is without hair. I could feel someone sneeze from across the room! On the subject of 15 minutes of fame, they can keep it. Some people are polite and just smile and move on. Others came right up to me and told me how discusted they were with it. One lady in the mall was obivously real upset about it and walked right up to me and asked, "How do you think women that lost their hair because of cancer feel?" I smiled and said, "My mom had no problem," and walked off. One guy tried to run me off the freeway while flipping me the bird. I had been in the same lane for about 10 miles, so I don't think it was anything I did. He just recognized me and wanted to let me know how he felt, I guess. Weirdos are everywhere.
