Yep, rumor has it that it was his interpreter last year causing the poor atmosphere/ response from Igawa

Minorleaguetraveller

Nope, it looked like rain and it did rain off and on so I saved a vacation day.

So I am knocking them off this weekend best I can. :-)

Fernando sometimes will give you a hard time before the game, but usually he signs a bunch right before pre-game warmups, a few on the way back to the dugout and if you can catch him coming out of the clubhouse he'll sign anything you have. I've met him now 5 times in the last two seasons and he hasn't refused to sign anything yet though if you have pics or cards be careful cuz he smudges a lot of them.

If you're coming to Binghamton for the Sea Dogs game on thurs. the 17th let me know, I'll be there for the Sea Dogs.
