Rather than keep putting up a new thread I'm going to start this one and add to it with every game.

On the 22nd I got some extra tickets from my boss and went up to the game with a friend of mine. I had to go into work at Midnight so time was not on my side. Another factor was a lot of the guys are not really in a signing mood lately. Hopefully this will change, and soon. I still managed to get the following:

Darrell Rasner signed 2/2
Chris Stewart signed my team jersey
Heath Phillips signed my team jersey
Brett Gardner signed 1/1

I have a couple of more games this week but all of them are night games and I have to go into work afterwards but I will be trying. I need to get a bunch more guys on the jersey, so far there are 43 signatures on it and it is coming along nicely. Next I will be moving on to a poster of Yankee Stadium and will be starting to grab guys who played in the Stadium. Also on tap is my SWB Yankee helmet....not to mention a few trips to the other team to fill out some of my card collection. Should be an interesting summer.

New game today with some good chances for some autographs.

Brett Gardner signed 2/2
Eric Duncan signed 1/1
Justin Christian (6 RBI day) signed 3/3 plus my team jersey
Heath Phillips signed my team jersey (second time (whoops)
Chris Stewart signed my team jersey (second time (whoops)
Matt Carson (making his AAA debut and went 4/6 signed 1/1 and team jersey
Steven Jackson signed 6/6 and team jersey


Struck out on Wilson Betemit who only signed 1 or 2 balls and Billy Traber who wouldn't stop to sign and personalized everything. Missed Juan Miranda and Bernie Castro because I tried to get Betemit. Oh well. Finally got Christian which was good. He and Carson were excellent guys.

From 6/24:

Didn't have much time to get cards signed on this occasion because I had to go to work. Nothing kills a good time like having to go to work AFTER a ballgame. Here are a few:

Chris Stewart 1/1
Juan Miranda 2/3
Matt Carson 2/2 (Rockiesfan33's customs)
Steven White 3/3 on a custom I made (looks like a 1987 Topps w/out the team logo)
Brett Gardner signed a custom card I made, it looks like a 2008 Topps

I don't sell my autos. I might offer some up for trade at the end of the season....I will post it and let everyone know what is for trade.

As for my girlfriend, I think she is, lol. She is also a part-time photographer for the team and takes amazing photos, even when she is just in the stands. Last year Ben Kozlowski asked her to take photos of his motion for help. She gets requests all the time from the guys for photos. Eric Duncan introduced her to his parents because he kept asking her for pictures. Joba Chamberlain signed all of her cards last year. She loves collecting autographs, going to baseball games and other sporting events. I got myself a winner, LOL.

Would you be interested in 50/50. I would love to get some S-WB players on cards I have.

Nice, IMO they shoulda never got rid of the Barons. Never been to a Yankee game at PNC and don't really plan on it unless someone gives me an extra ticket or something.

Yes I am a Yankee hater in NEPA...

I am willing to do 50/50's but I only have a few more games this year and I work midnight's after the games so my time spent getting autos is limited. The best chance to get autos is early in the year. There are only 9 home games in July for the SWB Yanks and August is the last month for the regular season. I have a couple of 50/50's lined up right now and don't want to take on too many because I'll never get them all done. I can't even get all of my stuff done. I will be doing a lot of 50/50's starting next year and will post who I can get as next season approaches.
