I am very surprise about Casey Daigle. He is one of the best signers out there.

Everyone has a mood, he seemed to just want to leave. One lady wanted a photo with him and he kept walking and said "tomorrow"

Minorleaguetraveller · 04-29-2008, 10:55 PM

Well the rain kept me away from Trenton on Sunday.
Instead I decided to do the Newark Bears Home Opener vs the Bridgeport Bluefish.
I did well. I only brought 10 cards.
I got in and saw Adam Greenberg doing fielding.
As he and the fungo coach were practicing, one of the balls was hit into the stands.
He told me that if I got it he would sign whatever I had.
So I found the ball, as me and some other guy looked for it.
I finally got the coach's attention and tossed it back.
He said: "OK, as soon as we are done I will sign whatever you have"
I then pointed at Greenberg.
Coach said: "You need him?"
I nodded.
He said "OK" To Greenberg he said: "sign for him when we finish"
So Greenberg nodded.
After they finished coach said:
"Greenie, go sign for him"
Sure enough, he came over and signed all of my cards.
He was pretty pleasant.
Adam Greenberg 6/6
Then I went and waited for the Bears.
There I got:
Brian Burgamy 3/3
and
Randal Simon 1/1

Simon was ok. He signed for the folks there but did not say anything.

Tommy John was a bit elusive.
I did not wait for him but he appeared to be staying by the visiting locker room till the starter came out. Did not focus on him.

Finished the night 10/10
Overall on the season : 280
