So this just happened.
Mike Tyson will be in St. Louis tonight for his one-man show, and today, he's doing some good old-fashioned Twitter promoting in advance of his visit.
This includes a polite request that David Freese swing by.
Will the Cardinals third baseman make it?
Sadly, no. But he has a legit excuse!
Here's the exchange:
@dfreese23 David, I'm in your city. Come see me tonight! #stl

No hard feelings, it seems. Freese got a Tyson retweet.
