I have many great Matt stories over the year, but this one pretty much tells you who he is.
He was in kindergarten I believe (maybe the 1st grade), and his school was having a fundraising auction. Tickets were a dollar.
I brought him down to the set of CHEERS to hawk his tickets. Those people had money.
He goes up to Kirstie Alley and says, “Hi, would you like to buy a raffle ticket for the Warner Ave School fair? Tickets are a dollar and the prize is a brand new television set.”
Kirstie says, “sure” and hands him a twenty. He’s a little flustered. He tells her he hasn’t sold enough to have $19 change. She says, that’s okay. Keep the twenty. To which Matt says, “Yeah, but you might not win.”
Is this a good kid or what?
Happy Birthday, Matt. I love you and sorry about your Red Sox this year.
