Thank you for getting it! Some on this forum just don't

Today was day 2 of Twinsfest and it was a fantastic day!

Free Prospects:

To my 4x6 of Target Field that I took at a Twins game last season I added the following prospects:

Austin Malinowski, Austin Meyer, BJ Hermsen, Cole Nelson, Nate Hanson, Kyle Knudson, Chris Herrmann, Michael Tonkin, Caleb Thielbar

Austin Malinowski: 1/1 IC

BJ Hermsen: 3/3

Aaron Hicks: 3/3

Chris Herrmann: 1/1

Cole Nelson: 4/4

Trevor May: 4/4

Kyle Gibson: 1/1
The Rochester Red Wings booth had photos for sale. They weren't the best but 3 for $5 was a good deal to me. I bought some more cards at the end of the day after finding a reasonable priced dealer that had a good selection of prospect cards so I'll get some more done tomorrow

Miguel Sano: 1/1

Kyle Knudson: 2/2

Paid Players I Got for Free
Darin Mastroianni: 2/2
Such a nice guy! The Sports Authority booth had these Twins hats on clearance for $7 so I grabbed one and got Mastroianni and Jared Burton on it

Kevin Correia: 1/1

Scott Diamond: 1/1

Jared Burton: 2/2
Very nice guy!!!

Josh Willingham: 1/1
I was able to get him as he was leaving his radio interview!

Justin Morneau: 1/1
I got him in the tunnel as he was leaving following a Kids Q&A session. A not so pleasant lady kept yelling at me that "Justin Morneau is not signing anymore autographs." I kept asking Justin and he looked at the lady and said "I can do 1 more." I am so happy I got him!

Cole De Vries: 2/2
He is 1 of the nicest guys I've met, as well as 1 of the best dressed men I've seen. He was looking sharp and fashionable today haha! I got the good 8x10 from a friend for $2

Jamey Carroll: 1/1

Trevor Plouffe: 1/1

Brian Dozier: 1/1
He was an awesome guy! he saw me later in the day and said hi and asked me how I was. He may be 1 of my new favorite Twins!

It was a great day at the Dome. Twinsfest wraps up tomorrow. I hope I can snag Mauer for free to complete the big 3 trifecta of Mauer, Morneau, and Willingham

Boy, you sure showed her.

Great Twins stuff. I've heard mostly negative things about Sano signing. Based on the fact that he didn't switch up markers for you, I assume he wasn't great, even at this?

I got him this summer when Beloit came to Clinton and he wasn't nice. He hasn't been nice here either. The lines for him have been insane but the overall consensus seems to be that most fans aren't impressed with his personality but they like his baseball talent. He doesn't speak much English so you can't even have a conversation with him while he is signing

Miguel Sano: 1/2
Sano was in the first group of free minor leaguers and the first one at the table. He switched to doing 1 per with me after doing multiples for the few people before me. I asked him to sign in blue and instead he signed in a thin black Sharpie. I am not happy about this one at all

Aaron Hicks: 2/2
I was surprised at how many items he was signing for everyone. I was happy to get him on 2 8x10s. I have 2 more 8x10s and a card to get done tomorrow

Austin Malinowski: 3/3

Alex Meyer: 4/4
He was great adding any inscription I asked for

Nate Hanson: 2/2
I couldn't find any cheap cards or good photos so I got him on a 4x6 and index card

Trevor May: 5/5

Kyle Gibson: 4/4

Chris Herrmann: 3/3

Pedro Hernandez: 2/2
I got him on a 4x6 of Target Field that I took last season and an index card

Caleb Thielbar: 3/3

Michael Tonkin: 2/2

Cole Nelson: 2/2

BJ Hermsen: 1/1

Kyle Knudson: 2/2

Ryan Pressley: 2/2

Cole De Vries: 1/1
I was able to snag him as he was leaving his paid signing station for free. A security guard said that's illegal and De Vries looked at them and then turned to me smiling and said I can sign just this one time. He was really cool. I asked him if he'd be at the Gopher Pro Alumni game next Saturday and he said yup. I told him I'd see him there

Brian Duensing: 1/1
A friend got this for me because he paid for that table. I got him Joe Mauer on a jersey since I couldn't afford the fee so he got me some paid players at tables he went to

Darin Mastroianni: 1/1
Another paid guy my friend got me. Love how this turned out

Trevor Plouffe: 2/2
He was another guy I got for free after he left his paid station. I went up to him and asked him to sign and he jokingly said technically this is against the rules but rules are meant to be broken. haha he was a cool guy

It was a great evening at Twinsfest. I hope a full day tomorrow is even better!

Thats so cool you wait for players to finish signing for paying fans so you can get them for free? If you cant afford the price per autograph then dont bring things for those players to sign!
