It was a surprise to turn on the Howard Stern show today and hear Wade MGilberry on the show. If you don’t recognize the name that’s okay because Wade is now a Millionaire. When MLB 2K10 was released they held a contest, “Perfect Game Challenge” offering 1 Million dollars to the first person who pithed a perfect game.
2K released the news yesterday announcing Wade McGilberry as the winner and on the Howard Stern Show, Wade discussed his accomplishment. Wade, on his 7th try, pithed a perfect game. With the 1 Million winning Wade and his wife are looking to give $100,000 to their local church, pay off their mortgage and then are hoping to start a family. Basically Wade pitched a perfect game and was presented with a code he had to enter online after finishing the perfect game. He had to wait several months but was finally contact by a representative on Sunday, May 2. In that phone call the representative told Wade that the company had to fly out to check everyone’s game system to make sure there was no cheating in pitching the perfect game. The door rang on Monday, May 3…and to Wade’s surprise there was not just one representative…but a complete camera crew. They presented him with one of those huge checks made out to a Million dollars. His wife, Katie, was not present but pulled up in the driveway as the 2K camera crew was on the front lawn filming.
These two are from Mobile, Alabama…and are completely pure. They saved themselves for marriage, had their first time with each other, met in college, shared their first kiss with each other, don’t drink, go to church, don’t do drugs the list goes on and on. Howard asked if they have ever sinned. Katie said she lied once and when it was Wade’s turn…he said of course. Wade’s sins…he used to skip alot of classed in college. Seriously it kind of sounds like winning a Million dollar prize could not have gone to a better couple. Oh…and the wife has done missionary work in the past, no not the missionary postion, but actually going to help with the Katrina relief etc.
Howard didn’t think people like this existed, neither did I. Congrats to Wade McGilberry and his wife!
It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
