2009 Braves Fanfest Haul

[19braves77]

Decided to do Braves Fanfest and this fanfest had great value for 20.00. Kinda felt bad for the people that shelled out $100.00 to $150.00 for this. Basically, the extra money assured you one extra group because you could have easily gotten everyone if you needed them.

Matt Diaz 1-1
Jordan Schafer 1-1 OMLB SS
Jeff Francoeur 2-2
Kelly Johnson 1-1 OMLB SS
Casey Kotchman 1-1 OMLB SS
Tim Hudson 2-2
Roger McDowell 1-1
Phil Niekro 1-1 OMLB SS
Bobby Cox 3-3 2 OLMB SS
Peter Moylan 1-1
Buddy Caryle 1-1
Jeff Bennett 1-1
Tommy Hanson 1-1 OMLB SS
Brian McCann 2-2 All Star Baseball
Blaine Boyer 1-1

Saw a 1st today. A guy tried to bring a bottle of wine into the stadium for Phil Niekro to sign and a girl had all the players sign a Build a Bear.

I started to go, but after the abomination last year, I found it hard to get excited about.

They did screw some stuff up. 1st they announced that a small mount of Elite passes had open up if you wanted to updrade for an additional 130.00 dollars. This after 48 hours earlier saying they were sold out at $100.00. 2nd thing is they made us wait out in the rain for 45 minutes when they could have just let us and go to the line we wanted to be in 1st.

There couldn't have been more then 800 people altogether in the building with 7 lines going on at once for 5 hours and they did something that every fanfest should do. For the 1st hour, they counted how many people were getting to the players signing. Then at the 2nd hour of the same player signing, they issued index cards to give you a honest estimate whether or not you would be able to get the player or not.

The whole Gold and silver level experiment ended when they realized that half of the players did not have to report for physicals until next week.
