Family went on a vacation to Myrtle Beach, and I was able to take in a Pelicans v Lynchburg Hillcats (Indians High A) game and graphed pregame and exiting the dugout after the game...I did not stay after the game and try due to the number of girlfriends/wives/cleat chasers that were there. I only graphed Lynchburg since I should see all of the Pelicans here at some point in TN with the Smokies.

A pretty good night overall with some quality graphs, I was the only one there so that made it a little harder to get everyone. Luigi Rodriguez was not having any of my sharpie before or after the game, I missed Mitch Brown and Dace Kime due to when they came out for the game. I had heard horror stories about encounters with Papi but he was very friendly and signed with no issues when I asked. Frazier did 4 before the game and the other 4 and ball after the game. I had 4 cards on Zimmer (3 different) and he signed the two duplicate Prizm cards. All in all a good night tho.

I guess I should also add this about Vogelbach from tonight since everyone always wants to talk crap about him being a bad dude...He came out with 2 huge boxes of shoes and took them to his truck and I figured there was no way he's signing tonight. Well he put the boxes in his truck and next thing I know he is coming back through the parking lot where he proceeded to sign for everyone there..Huge thumbs up to Dan from me.
