“I hit a homerun with my CEO.”

“Jim, let me say first, thank you so much for “pinch hitting” for our speaker who had to cancel.  I hit a homerun with my CEO.  He was so thrilled to have the signed baseball that you brought.  I am so appreciative of your kind gesture.  And as you can see by the comments from our attendees, you were just what the doctor ordered.  One attendee stated ‘What a blessing you had him in the dugout!’”
