OK, so a lot of you might be sick of Great Baseball Road Trip stories by now. But we have one more quick thing to share from Saturday's road trip finale, which ended with a game-winning home run by RandBall-endorsed A-Rod swingalike master Trevor Plouffe. Early in the game, we had the chance to meet Casey Lewis -- also known, in these parts, as the crying sparkly nail polish Packers fan of YouTube fame. In case you forgot, Casey thought her jersey and nail polish choices influenced the Packers' playoff loss to the Giants in January. Because you know this type of thing is right in our wheelhouse, we contacted Lewis via Twitter and eventually did a phone interview with her about the whole thing.

Fast-forward to this past weekend, when Lewis saw on Twitter that we were at Miller Park -- where she works on days when she is not sobbing uncontrollably about the Packers. We couldn't resist putting together a quick meet-and-greet with the crying sparkly nail polish fan.

Casey was nice enough to let us take a picture. She noted that the YouTube video is nearing 2 million views, and she's hoping the needle will start moving faster again once football season rolls around. Since we met her around the third inning, we cannot confirm whether or not she cried all the way home and blamed Plouffe's home run on her blue polo shirt, but we can say she remains a very good sport about the whole thing.
