Batman? Have you seen my phone? - mrlayance - 07-11-2003

TORONTO -- Boston Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez played the role of Good Samaritan by returning Batman's cell phone.


Martinez, in Toronto to play the Blue Jays, found a National Post employee's cell phone in a taxi on Thursday and dialed the paper's news desk. That phone number -- dubbed the Batphone in the newsroom -- was stored in the telephone's directory under Batman.


"Is there somebody there called Batman who has lost his phone?'' Martinez asked.


The phone belongs to employee Kelly Nestruck, who called Martinez back to make arrangements for picking it up.


Martinez, a three-time Cy Young award winner, told her where she could find it: "I'm at the SkyDome. I'm a baseball player.''

Great story Lance! Nice snag! I went to the Post's site and they have the full conversation...pretty funny!

Not entirely off topic, this reminds me of the time my car was stolen, and the thieves were subsequently tracked down through cell phone calls they made (to an auto parts yard, no less) on my cell phone which I had inadvertently left in the car...

As Homer J. would say...Doh!

Also reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where someone steals Jerry's car and Jerry calls him... :lol:
