CLRyan5's Success Thread

**clryan5** · 01-24-2012, 06:55 PM

Well I thought I'd make one of these to share my successes. My siblings and friends are getting tired of me talking about this hobby and think it's weird that I do it since I'm a girl but I don't care. I love it! I just got into this in the last year. In person successes include Hunter Pence & Chris Johnson at an Astros-Cubs game last year. Then I got Tim Tebow, Von Miller, Eric Decker, Brady Quinn, Brian Dawkins, and Britton Colquitt at the Broncos' hotel in Minneapolis the day before they played the Vikings. I also got Brandon Jennings on an index card and Andrew Bogut on a basketball at their hotel before they went to shootaround the day of their preseason game against the Timberwolves in Minneapolis.

This week has been the week of the fan pack. Late last week through today I have received several fan packs. Teams I've received from include the Cincinnati Reds, Oakland A's, Atlanta Hawks, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Bucs, Dallas Mavericks, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Buffalo Bills. Yesterday I received autographs from my favorite snowboarder Lindsay Jacobellis and figure skater Joannie Rochette. Pictures of these recent successes can be found on my blog. Once I get out of Iowa and back to Minneapolis for 2nd semester, I will post pictures of my past successes on my blog.

I'll post my TTM successes on here through this week, but next week it will only be IP since I won't know what I get in the mail since I have it sent home. Going to be an awful wait to spring break since I'm sending out a ton of 8x10s to Spring Training!!

Today brought fan packs from the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Indians and an autographed 8x10 from Iowa State men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg. Super psyched about this one because my 2 triplet sisters both go there and my brother is going there next year so I'm a big Cyclones fan!
Pictures are in my blog. Link is in my signature. Thanks!!

What email did you use for the Indians fan pack? And better yet, what was in it?

Nice job with Tebow. heard you could catch him when he was still a back-up, but ever since he became a starter, he's impossible to find at the hotel...

I just used the contact form on their website. It had a few coloring pages of their mascot and a word search. It also had a pocket schedule, picture of "Fausto Carmona" that got bent, a pack of baseball cards from 2008, and a Grady Sizemore magnet, my personal favorite since he played his A ball here in Clinton, IA where I live
