wow

You also had the 1/1 red auto at one time, didn't you? I think I remember you buying it dirt cheap when the product first came out.

Not dirt cheap, but I did buy it. Unfortunately I sold it too early.

And he is on the bench.

Strikes out looking in his debut AB.

I went downtown for IP autos after the game (got Cahill and Mazzaro on RCs) and picked up ticket stubs people had thrown on the ground because it was Blanks' debut. I ended up with 4 stubs. One in horrible shape, another with bad creases, and two others that are in pretty good shape. I'll leave them all in a heavy book for a while. This is great for me because I have nothing (I usually get guys on RCs if I can) for Blanks to sign for me. Now I have MLB Debut tickets for him to sign! Sweet!

La Mesa--10 to 15 minute drive.

Is it worth the trip? Do you pay to park?

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. I've got as many as 19 autos after the game, as few as zero. Today I got 3, but one was Cahill (and that Mazzaro guy seems pretty good right now). I've added some nice autos to my collection this way:
Jeff Bagwell
Greg Maddux
Chipper Jones
Lots of RCs signed (Braun, Tulowitzki, Peavy, Adrian Gonzalez, Hoffman, etc.)

I don't go unless at least one of my friends goes, so even without the autos, we just hang out and talk.

EDIT: Oh, and no, I don't pay to park. I just find a meter that's open and park there. Meters aren't enforced after 6pm.

I was at the game last night. I'm in San Diego on vacation and talked the wife into going. I saved teh ticket stubbs although they're not cool season ticket ones. I was hoping Blanks would do something in his first AB, but he not only went down looking, but I don't think he took the bat off his shoulder the enire AB ::facepalm:: . Oh well, for me it was just a blast to go to a real MLB game. I haven't been to many and I get so very few chances.
