My day today w/ help
Nick Swisher signing (my dad, I was at Wrigley)
2 SS ROMLBs (1 for bowzer) 1 card (alanmoore)

Wrigley
Pregame, didnt really graph, was waiting for a friend to get there to buy tickets, which I didnt get. Went to the lot, pretty much everyone was in, so I left.

BP, caught a ball out on Waveland again, should have had 3 if I brought my glove

Postgame, HUGE day.
1/1 Alfonso Soriano 8x10, also gave him 1
2/2 Reed Johnson, really nice guy, gave him a photo of his catch in Washington which he asked for

Missed Edmonds, didnt go for Theriot, Soto, or Fontenot.

Kidk,

Nice haul at Wrigley. Interesting that Soriano actually signed by the lot after the game. Reed is awesome so I can see him doing that but I figured Alf would've jumped in his blue AS12 Hummer and left right away. How was the Swish line? Him and Steve McMichael were at Woodfield virtually at the sametime and was thinking of doing a double dip.

i guarantee you he did not get soraino anywhere near the parking lot

Ya, I will not disclose the location of where I got Soriano. I was not at the signing, my dad was while I waited in line for Cubs/Cards tickets but he said he was around 150 and he go there 30 minutes before the signing started and Swisher was late to get there. Reed was really cool. I had the photo of him at Washington and when I asked him to sign it he talked about it for a little while, asked for it and then signed my other 2. Soriano was actually pretty decent too, he didnt seem to mind signing at all.

No problem Kidk, anyway you slice it, getting a Soriano is not a bad day. Did you go to any of the Cub/Card games this weekend? Nice to see two of 3 for the North Siders

[kidk]

No, I wasnt able to get tickets. Im planning on getting them for the September series, my graphing vacation, skipping school for the Brew Crew then the weekend series v. the Cards.

Ryan Theriot signing, my brother went with bowzer while I was at football, they wouldnt allow anyone to get their own stuff signed because Theriot is "under contract" and cant sign any photos, cards, balls etc. They gave out these knock off Topps cards from Sharp. He wouldnt sign in blue. So,

Theriot 0/12 my items, 1/1 theirs

That line was insane for him tonight! From what I saw, it wrapped around the entire building.

[kidk]

Ya, my brother said that the store was full and there were more people outside. I cant image it being worse than the Kane/Toews line last winter though, that was insane.
