Strasburg 5K

Anthony · Jan 28, 2012

Man, I am incredibly out of shape. 5K, 45 minutes. Still, it was cool to see Strasburg and Gwynn there. The organizers wouldn't allow any memorabilia into the event, otherwise I would have had RCs signed. But Gwynn and Strasburg were signing 5K stuff, so I got my shirt signed and my racing bib signed. The race packet also came with a couple cards signed by Strasburg and Gwynn. Not sure what I want to do with those, they are not RCs and signed RCs is pretty much all I collect. The racing bib will end up in my classroom or donated to my school. I'm totally wearing the shirt to Spring Training. You know those people who actually wear signed shirts/hats/jerseys? I'm about to join that club.

EDIT: The cards:

Anthony, congrats on completing the 5k

Sounds like an awesome event! What type of signed cards were included? I wonder if they will begin to pop up on the secondary market... they might be a nice alternative to certified Strasburg autographs for collectors like myself. That bib is certainly a very unique item, I'd try to get it framed to preserve the paper and signatures.

Overall, sounds like you had a blast, and wear that shirt proud.

Sounds fun! Would love to see the signed cards they gave out

Here are the cards that came with the racing packet:

Sorry for the poor pic. The scanner is ALL the way out in the garage and I did just finish "running" 5k.

That Strasburg card is sweet, if you ever decide to sell it I would love to have a shot at it. Sounds like it was a fun event

Run 5K, get autographs. Sounds like a good deal, even from an out-of-shape guy like me!

I have always had fun running 5ks. When they had ESPN The Weekend at Disney they always had a 5k with it. I got Jim Palmer to sign my race bib at the one in 2009 and finished with my best time ever (21 minutes).
