What is the difference in having "pages of nine" or sending someone 400 cards of 5 players?
Jarrod was not hit up for signatures in the stands. He was in uniform and in the dugout for the series like minorleagueink stated. He was hit up for autographs before and after the game on the main concourse. Jarrod either lied to you or you have gotten the story twisted.

Burtram Ray Burris

I PERSONALLY HAVE NOT graphed Beloit but when I finally got Ray Burris to sign a card for me, here is what he mentioned about Beloit:

Ray Burris 1 card ("The other incident I had was over in Beloit where a guy had pages of cards for me to sign. After when I told him that I was only signing one, I found out that he was using a bunch of little kids and kept handing his cards out to the little kids around him and then they called me over and I found out. Me: "So how many did you end up signing for him?" Ray: "I only signed one card for him." "If you want to get autographs, please don't use little kids to get autographs for you." "I am not mad at any of you or accusing any of you of using little kids, but its wrong.")

I wonder if that same guy is there and if he is doing that to the other players/coaches to get all of his cards signed.

I just thought I would chime in on this even though I have never been to Beloit personally but I almost did not get a coach who is known to not be an easy sig to get and he mentioned that place as one of his reasons for almost not signing for us.
Ray Burris is just a jerk. I had 4 cards (all different) that I wanted to get signed during a 3 game series. He signed 1/4 before the 1st game of the series. I approached him after the game with the remaining 3 cards. He told me he had already signed for me. I said yes you did... you signed 1 before the game. He told me that was enough and not to ask him ever again. I explained to him that all 4 cards were different and he told me that he would not sign for me again and that all I wanted to do was make money off of him. Seriously how much could I make off of a Ray Burris signed card??? Buy an unsigned card off ebay for $3 after shipping and sell it signed for $2.

(in Clyde from South Park's voice) If I could get $2.00 for a Ray Burris autograph I'd be soooo happy.

I can tell you from personal experience Jarrod Parker has been AWESOME the 3 times I have seen him.

Never did I see him turn anyone down when I saw him...
