The "Lost Baggage" Heesey Award
The "Lost Baggage" Heesey Award
And the winner is...... Kirk Pitman - New Zealand!
Kirk's baggage didn't arrive at the airport with him a record six times this season! To put that "accomplishment" in perspective, I haven't lost my bag six times in my life! I guess that explains why his favorite outfit this summer was a Lufthansa branded t-shirt (which the airline gives to those whose bags don't make it) worn with "Jake Gibb" Speedo shorts (I guess Jake felt sorry for him and gave him a pair of his playing shorts). At some of the colder venues this season, i.e. Russia, it wasn't an unusual sight to see Kirk warm-up for his match in his jeans and collared shirt (the outfit he wore on his most recent flight), because he ran out of his Mossimo (his sponsor) track suits. I think for next year, he will re-think his usual strategy of passing on the option of lost baggage insurance - he could have struck it rich this season!
