Chicago White Sox vs. Chicago Cubs - U.S. Cellular Field - UNOFFICIAL
Jose Abreu (White Sox) - 1/1 SI Magazine
Carson Fulmer (White Sox) - 1/1 ROMLB
Robin Ventura (White Sox) - 1/1 Card
Ken "Hawk" Harrelson (White Sox) - 1/1 ROMLB
Darrin Jackson (White Sox) - 1/1 Card
Joe Nathan (Cubs) - 4/4 Cards
Don Cooper (White Sox) - 1/1 2005 WS ROMLB
I went to the Crosstown Cup White Sox vs Cubs game at U.S. Cellular Field. Tried to get autos before the game outside and inside the stadium. Outside, I was able to get Jose Abreu to sign a Sports Illustrated magazine and Carson Fulmer on a ROMLB. Nice to get Abreu for the first time after getting shut down by him on multiple occasions. Also got my first Fulmer, after seeing how many people racked him in the minors, I'm glad to add him as soon as he got called up to the big leagues. Also added manager Robin Ventura and broadcaster Darrin Jackson on a card each, and legendary White Sox broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson signed a ROMLB with a "He Gone!" inscription. Inside the stadium, Joe Nathan was signing during BP and he signed 4 cards for me.

Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors) - 1/1 SI Magazine

Team USA Basketball played an exhibition game versus Venezuela here in Chicago.

Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Monty Williams, and Jimmy Butler also signed but I couldn't get them with the crowd. Happy to add Lowry, DeRozan, Green, and Thibodeau nonetheless.

Chicago Cubs vs. Miami Marlins - Wrigley Field - UNOFFICIAL
Marcell Ozuna (Marlins) - 1/1 Card
Fernando Rodney (Marlins) - 1/1 Card
Chris Johnson (Marlins) - 1/1 Card
Went to the Cubs vs. Marlins game with the intention to watch Ichiro get closer to 3000 hits (stuck at 2998), but was disappointed to see he was not in the lineup. He got a pinch-hit AB, but struck out, still cool to see him live in person and all of Wrigley gave him a standing ovation when he came to bat. There wasn't any batting practice that day, weird for a night game, and the only player I got pregame was Marcell Ozuna on a card. Postgame, saw Chris Johnson and Fernando Rodney leaving and get them on 1 card each. Still happy with 2 All-Stars in Ozuna and Rodney.

Carli Lloyd Book Signing - The Book Stall - Winnetka, IL - OFFICIAL
Carli Lloyd (Team USA) - 1/1 Book
U.S. Women's National Soccer Team captain Carli Lloyd did a book signing a few weeks back around the U.S. She happened to come to Chicago the weekend I was home from school. I got 1 book signed but no outside items as they were pretty strict. Still a great experience meeting the best USWNT player on the team.
Atlantaman - Thank you for the kind words! I sure will!
