I found out last week that UC Irvine was having its alumni game today, so I decided to head on out there. UCI was without a baseball team for years so they don't have an extensive alumni, but I was pretty happy with my day.

Cody Cipriano 3/3
Blair Erickson 4/4
Taylor Holiday 15/15 "You know, ever since this card came out I've been getting tons of mail." Really nice guy and his dad and I talked baseball for a while. I gave his dad about 10 cards.
Ollie Linton 1/1
Chris Nicoll 3/3
Brian Roades 3/3
Ted Silva 1/1
Brett Smith 4/4
Sean Tracey 5/5 Nice guy

UCI has a 20 foot high net from foul line to foul line so I missed Brett Dalton and Bryan Petersen because of it. Mike Gillespie said he was too busy to sign.

He's a full time coach for LMU, so I would imagine he retired last year or so.
