May 24th Pawtucket Pawsox vs. Rochester Redwings

Spent a little over 10 hours at McCoy today (brutal is a vast understatement), goals were to get a few from Masterson and Francisco Liriano. Meet them both as Liriano refused coming off the bus but inside during warmups I asked him 2x and ignored me, 3rd time is after BP ends and there are roughly 15 people over the dugout calling for him (me being one), Liriano stops and points to me and signed beautifully on the SS, signed for one more kid before heading inside. Masterson was dropped off pre-game and signed SS but when I asked for his 1st ML Win w/ statline he told me he couldn't do inscriptions. He signed an 8x10 which I no longer have. Inside when I hung my cards Masterson came over and signed all 3 that I had, I went over to the Red Wings dugout for Liriano when I see an 8x10 fall from my binder, I then see some guy in the dugout (not a player, or staff member) take in inside the dugout and places it on the bench. Told the secruity and staff members but they didn't really help me out. Though I'll get other oppurtunities so no worries. Overall it was a decent day was rough but ended up getting what I wanted so can't complain.

Turned down by: George Kottaras "I'll get you later" Yea you will cause you aren't going anywhere. Chris Carter, Chris Smith, and my favorite Edgar Martinez not once but twice, E-Mart turned me down pre and post game, ugh.

Pre-Game Outside
Lee Gronkiwiecz 1/1-team helmet
Charlie Zink 1/1-team helmet
Jeff Bailey 2/2 (1 50/50)
Joe Thurston 2/2 (1 50/50)

Jon Switzer 2/2 (1 50/50)
Jose Vaquenado 1/1 (50/50)
Michael Tejara 1/2
David Pauley 6/6-he was the starter but as always willing to sign

Inside
Justin Masterson 3/3
Francisco Liriano 1/1: SS ROMLB

Outside
Jed Lowrie 1/1-Surprised he stopped, there were about 25-30 people outside waiting for graphs, signed for 10 before Ricky wrapped his arms aroudn him and took him away

Hunter Jones 1/1-team helmet
Gil Velazquez 1/1-team helmet

Total: 24 (20 for me)

Next up: Possibly Monday for Scranton Yanks if not then it'll be a while before I hit up Pawtucket again.
