My 2011 Autographed Baseball Spring Training Success

[numba1yankeefan]

All in all I believe I went to 2 practices and 4 games.

Phillies Yankees
Yankees Braves
Pirates Red Sox
Yankees Pirates

Would have went to more but have been short on money for a while. Didnt do as well autograph wise as I was hoping as the Yankees decided to rarely sign, so focused more on the other teams.

Here are some guys I got on multiple-signed baseballs.

Freddi Gonzalez
Clint Hurdle
Brooks Conrad
Jordan Schafer
Juan Francisco
Lyle Overbay
Neil Walker
Steven Pearce
Ryan Doumit
Kevin Correia
Evan Meek
A bunch of coaches
and I know i'm missing some others

Here are the bigger 8. I know I showed some of these off already but will throw them in here as well. Don't worry about half of them being signed in black, I learned my lesson. :lol: And some have smudges on them, dunno what happened.

David Wells

Ryan Sandberg

Dominic Brown

Charlie Manuel

Brian McCann

Andrew McCutchen

Pedro Alvarez

Chipper Jones

Did you ask some of them to sweet spot and they wouldn't do it?

figured they werent doing it for a reason so didnt really ask. the 2 I got on the sweetspot were retired players

Very nice haul....I have gotten Maddux twice this week. One sweet spot and the other below the rawlings logo on OMLB's. :ugeek: Also have gotten everyone but Carlos Pena & Marlon Byrd on the Cubs.

 

[matchpenalty]

Most won't sweet spot unless you ask. They just think it's a team ball.

Did Jeter or Arod sign much?

The only Yankee I got was Gustavo Molina, lol. Cano signed yesterday for 3 minutes but wasnt able to get him. Didnt see Jeter or A-Rod sign at all. A-Rod and Cameron Diaz were running on my school track about a week ago. If I would have known at the time he was here, I would have tried then, but was told 5 minutes after he left.

This week of games at Hohokam and a practice yesterday. Cubs are really easy to get after they are done practicing before they head off for road games. I mean I got Soriano and Ramirez back to back on 8X10's. Practice is the only time I have seen Starlin Castro sign but he does watch the minor league games down the road at Fitch and I heard he'll sign there.

I've been going to ST for 5 years and I've never even tried to get the Cubs because I don't know where they practice. Can you tell me?

Thanks!

Anthony....They practice is at 9:00 AM before they leave for their road games at Hohokam. Practice is free to watch and usually everyone signs after they hit the cages and also on their way onto the bus. Then other personal/players leave including Maddux & Billy Williams.
