Went to the Tampa Yankees vs. Dunedin Blue Jays game today in Tampa after getting my big order in from just commons. Dunedin has 6 of the top 9 prospects in the Blue Jays system, but I don't go to many of their games and only had a few cards of their players so I didn't chase them. Plus I have a lot of Yankees cards and really wanted Jorge Mateo and James Kaprielian, two of their top prospects who probably won't be in Single A much longer.

I had a really good day, even though I didn't see Kaprielian at all. He is supposed to pitch tonight so I figure he'd be in the stands charting pitches last night but we didn't see him. What was great today was the pitchers were all in the bullpen area and they all signed right before the game. Usually when I've gone to games there I have had a really tough time finding the pitchers, they don't come out until right before the game, and they wear warm-ups so you it's hard to figure out who is who. All of the position players signed by the dugout a little while after the gates opened.

Also, almost every player (except 3) signed everything I had for them.

Here is what I got today in autographs:
Jorge Mateo 1 photo
Austin Aune 8/8 cards
Jose Campos 4/4 cards
Mark Payton 6/6 cards
Caleb Frare 6/6 cards
Ian Clarkin 8/8 card
Santiago Nessy 7/7 cards
Jacob Lindgren 4/4 cards
Jordan Foley 3/8 cards
Michael O'Neill 2/2 cards
Miguel Andujar 1/3 cards

We also saw Greg Bird there, who is injured and rehabbing in Tampa. I only tried for one card and got a picture with him.
Greg Bird 1/1 card

Overall a great day, 50 cards and 1 8x10 signed.
