And 2014 1st round pitching prospect grant holmes signed 3 cards for me in which I told him thank you very much!!

Friday evening I went to watch the Dodgers high a affiliate the Rancho Cucamonga quakes play the Visalia oaks ( joc pederson bobblehead night) and since I got to the stadium at noon to wait in line for the bobblehead and it's a good thing I did as I got all the players and coaches I wanted to get on their entry into the stadium
so here is what I got
got 2014 1st round draft pick grant Holmes to sign 5 different cards(yes!!!) and got a picture with him
pitching coach kip wells signed 4 cards for me
hitting coach jay gibbons signed an 8x10 previously signed by over 20 different dodgers
offseason Cuban signee yusinel Diaz signed the same 8x10 as gibbons
andrew sopko signed 2 bowman cards
pre game got Diaz to sign a program
post game got Holmes to sign 2 more cards
and got a picture with Diaz after the game
another productive night for me!!!
next autographing trip will probably be on 5/3/16 back at the Rancho Cucamonga quakes as I'll have a big batch of kip wells and jay gibbons cards and possibly a wells bobblehead if it gets here in time!!!

Tonight's journey led me back to watch the Rancho Cucamonga quakes and I've done great and tonight was no different here is what I got pre game and after the game
got cuban prospect yaisel sierra to sign a cal league ball on the ss
got grant Holmes to sign 2 cards
got the pitching coach kip wells to sign a pirates bobblehead
got hitting coach jay gibbons to sign a game used jersey card and my Dodgers poster ( now up to 132 signatures)
post game I got the following autos
yaisel Sierra signed a program
yusniel Diaz signed a program
julian Leon signed a card
coach jay gibbons signed 6 more cards
grant Holmes signed my last 2 cards I had for him
and my favorite auto of the night was from quakes player Tim locastro, quakes were down 6-4 in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded and he hit a bases clearing double to win the game 7-6, he signed my ticket stub with game winning hit inscription.
thats my haul for tonight, probably will go again next Tuesday to watch the quakes play again and get some more autos, I need some more grant Holmes cards!!!!!

Today's autograph journey led me back to the home of the Rancho Cucamonga quakes , an added bonus besides it being Corey Seager bobblehead night was that dodger Hyun Jin ryu was rehabbing there, so here are my results

jay gibbons signed a sga and a fc bobblehead
ryu signed a bobblehead
before game gibbons signed 6 cards
after game yaisel Sierra signed an 8x10
and ryu signed a 2016 topps
next adventure who knows when, but I'll be sure to post it on here

A few days late with this but here is my latest post
went to go watch the Rancho Cucamonga quakes (Dodgers high a ) where yaisel puig was doing his 2nd rehab appearance for them, well the turnout to see him enter was rather small around 50+ , but he showed up at like 5:15 for a 7:05 game uh oh #puiglate
he didn't sign then, signed like 10 before game time
arter game signed a bit, but blew by the section that was waiting right outside the clubhouse where I was, so I didn't get him but did get the following
grant Holmes signed a 16 bowman
batting coach jay gibbons signed 8 cards for me
yaisel Sierra signed an 8x10 I took with him a few weeks back
and that's all for the day
next foray will be going to the cal/Carolina high a all star game
just saw today that Rickey Henderson Gary Sheffield Jose Cruz Jr. And Xavier nady will be inducted into the Cali sports hall of fame and all be present at the game, so who knows I may end up with some of those guys ,we'll see along with many prospects.

Was planning to attend Tuesday's home rc quakes game but plans changed when I saw that the lake Elsinore storm was going to have a special guest appear, former wcw and wwe heavyweight champ Goldberg. I actually won a guarenteed spot in the meet and greet by retweeting a video advertising his appearance, so I got Goldberg to sign a best of matches DVD set cover, as well as a baseball.
after that was over I got all remaining players/coaches on the storm I needed for my cal/Carolina all star card set
pitching coach Glendon rusch
pitcher chris Huffman
infielder luis Urias
which i I now got 35 cards in this set signed
also got Brandon trinkwon of the quakes to sign a '15 cal/Carolina all star poster previously signed by Cory bellinger
didnt see hitting coach jay gibbons so didn't get any more cards signed by him
got two inning ending balls tossed to me In the stands the 5th inning( Holmes last pitch of the game - rough game for him) and 8th inning newly returning back to the lineup yusniel Diaz inning ending catch
atter the game I was hoping to get yimi Garcia who was rehabbing in rc but left around 1130 without having seen him go to the team bus
did get grant Holmes to sign two more cards for me though so that was a win for me.
next game will be Christmas Justin turner bobblehead night at the quakes on the 29th vs the high desert mavs maybe try to get a few more all star cards signed or might try to start the quakes team set too
