So, I'm at Florida looking at UMiami (tomorrow) so my family decided to go to Orioles Spring Training practice today. We were told it started at 9, so we left at 8. We got there at 9, and the staff told us players had their physical today, and practice wouldn't start until noon. Two guys who knew how to get autographs realized that's what I was trying to do and told me where to stay and hang out, as players had to walk across a couple areas to get their physical done. Through this process, right away, I got 2 Nick markakis SS OMLB's Auto's. He was real nice, and definitely didn't mind signing. I got a few other players staying in that area, but none I was looking for. I went on the field, which was really nice, and spotted Wieters. Then he disappeared 
. Luke Scott absolutely destroyed the ball in practice, I got his auto and about 15 others on a team ball.
Now, the highlight of my day. The reason I came to ST was to get Wieters auto. The 2 guys who knew what they were doing from earlier told me he drove a Black Mercedes SUV and where he was parked. At about 1, I went with my parents to that parking lot, and stalked his car for an hour, literally sitting in our car, right in front of his car, just waiting for him. It was getting rediculous, but I didn't want to leave. After about an hour, Matt comes over to his car and I hopped out of mine and called his name. He didn't mind signing, even inscriptions. Between my parents and I, we killed it
2 SS OMLB's Auto's
3 SS OMLB's Auto's Inscription "1st Rd. 07"
1 Razor Card Auto (inscriped To Zach, for me)
Definitely worth the wait, he's a great guy, really happy I got those auto's, although some go to my bro and one's going to a lucky board member, you know who you are
Fun day, pics coming from my phone, but they're not the greatest
Enjoy, sorry for the long read
