Hey everyone... did the Tampa Yankees and Threshers/ Sarasota Reds this weekend. Only had a couple of cards but got who I wanted.
I chatted with Cole Hamels and Zach Segovia for almost an hour one game, Alan Horne, and Christian Garcia... all were phenomenal guys to chat with about baseball and things in general. Homer Bailey gave the best quote... I asked if he collected his own cards for himself or his family. He said, "No, I can just look in a mirror". He was a great guy to chat with also. Talking to some of the players I did notice they don't mind signing but are very aware of what goes on.
I have updated my site now with ALL in persons and when I get back home I will update the TTMs.
Over the weekend I got the following:
Greg Gross 1/1
Mike Costanzo 2/2
Cole Hamels 1 ss baseball but I think this one will bleed
Zach Segovia 1/1
Homer Bailey 1/1
Hector Made 1 program
Alan Horne 1 program
Christian Garcia 1 ss baseball and 1 program
Philip Hughes 1/1
Jeff Marquez 2/2
Brett Gardner 1/1
Matt Carson 1/1
Had a great weekend as I got to see a ton of baseball... good games, great hanging with the players charting, and just... baseball... ahhhhhhhh!
