MILWAUKEE BREWERS - FAN FEST WEEKEND

[LazerShow15]

Sunday is a great day as the Milwaukee Brewers will be holding their FAN FEST. Robin Yount has been added to the autograph lineup, although not sure how this lottery thing will go over with the fans. Anybody going?

 

[BrewerSuperCollector]

I'll be there. My lottery tickets will be in for Greinke. I'm guessing I'll have about an 8% chance of winning.

 

[LazerShow15]

Very cool, come over and meet me I will be a dealer there. Good Luck.

Will there be a nameplate for your spot? I will check out the dealer tables near the end of the event...about 4 ish I'm guessing.

Even though I'm a Twins fan, I have always wanted to come down and check this out. (I'm up in Eau Claire) But it's always on the Sunday of Twinsfest so I'm either there, or tapped out of cash! Have a great time!

And neither bode well for the Crown Plaza show in Madiosn being any good. Wish I didn't have a sick wife, or I'd try and talk her into going with me.

I am hedging on going, got free tix if I want. But with the lottery system, cash only purchases, and the choas of the crowd I am not sure I want to go.


Plus, I have a Hall Of Fame bat and if I win the Lottery for Yount or Uecker sigs and get to the front of the line and they say I am not signing that, just photocards I will be pissed!

Guaranteed Uecker would be that way, he has been in the past. A very ugly rude and disrepsectful man with a great radio voice. He wouldn't even get up off the stage to sign for a kid in a wheelchair last year.

if true, that really blows, because I'd always imagined him to be a cool guy.

Uecker and Braun will only sign the 4x6 postcards given away. When Uecker was there 2 years ago he would only sign the postcards. Most people were complaining, but Attanasio was signing next to him and basically told him to sign whatever the people wanted.

 

[BrewerSuperCollector]

I know most people really don't care about the postcards given away, but I collect them. If anyone thinks about it, please pick up the postacrds for me when you get your items signed.

 

[Exposfan]

I have heard the stories about Uecker, but my one encounter with him was pleasant. I saw him at the airport, and he signed a random piece of paper.

 

[BrewerSuperCollector]

My question with the event is how are the coupons being distributed at 9:00 when the doors don't open until 10:00. Uecker signs at 11:00, and the winners are announced at 10:30. So, from when the doors open at 10 there is only a half an hour to get into the door and the coupons to be given in.

Confirmed I was there, this was the time when the parapalegic young boy and his father were discouraged because Uecker wouldn't get off his arse to come down from the stage. My brother-in-law was in that line, wanted Ueckers autograph for years, and said the same thing. Attanasio looked at Uecker and told him what is the big deal. Uecker threw the signed baseball (well shoved and rolled it) back to my brother in law. Grumpy old fart.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Sure wish I knew what it was that has made Uecker into such a grump publicly. I haven't heard any stories of him being pleasant, or nice to anyone. Sad, because he is a terrific broadcaster and has such a legion of fans. If I could have him sign something, other than a ball, I think a photo of him as Harry Doyle from Major League would be great, or this...

Young Bobby Uecker, getting his professional start right here in Eau Claire. Just like Henry Aaron did.

 

[bodiaz]

Seems Uecker faked being a nice guy all those years just to get in the Hall of "Fame". No he is in, he don't have to act anymore. Hey, it worked. Ozzie Smith can start being a ***** now to if he wants. His "kindness" to fans ot him in also.

 

[Exposfan]

I am looking forward to the Rising Stars table as well , but probably can meet most of those guys at the game at Miller Park before the season starts.


My son is 5, what and how many kids activities will there be for him?

 

[BrewerSuperCollector]

There isn't much for a 5 year old there. The Block Parties would be alot better for a 5 year old.

 

[Exposfan]

Went today, very limited with my 5 year old who was a trooper the whole time. Didn't win the lottery for Braun or Yount so the sigs I got before he wanted to leave are Kottaras, Scooter Gennett x4 and Caleb Gindl x4...

PS Uecker did sign baseballs today as in-laws won his lottery.

 

[Brewer Andy]

Can't say I have any desire to deal with crowds and lines of people as I haven't been to one of these events in years. Am I missing anything as far as dealers?
