Great stuff. What time do you go to the Pawsox? I live like 10 minuets away and always wanted to try this.

Pre game. Usually like 4 or 5 hours before the game. or you can go postgame.

After doing the Paw Sox, I went to the Tampa Bay Rays hotel in Boston postgame. It took the team a while to get back from the ballpark. They took 4 separate buses and ultimately I missed Longo and Price b/c I had to catch a train. Did pretty solid though.

Tampa Bay Rays

Fernando Rodney 1/1 (have never really heard of him signing. his friend spoke in a different language and b/c there was only 2 of us I think he told him to sign. I had a picture of him so maybe thats why too)
Matt Moore 1/1
Joe Maddon 1/1 (was pretty pissed when he signed)
Ben Zobrist 1/1
Yunel Escobar 0/1 (didn't look over I kept calling his name)
Jose Molina 0/1 (said "sorry guys I can't do it right now.")

Next up for me is Lehigh Valley tomorrow postgame.

A couple of days ago I decided to take another trip to Boston. There were two teams in town: the Orioles (playing the Red Sox) and the Nets (playing the Celtics). I decided to graph the O's outside of the ballpark and the Nets at the hotel (game time). Overall it was an awesome day of graphing!

Baltimore Orioles

Nick Markakis 1/1
Adam Jones 1/1 (wasn't too nice)
J.J. Hardy 1/1
Matt Wieters 1/1 (signed everything except blanks)
Chris Davis 1/1 (signed everything)
Pedro Strop 1/1
Manny Machado 0/1 (turned us down. there was only 3 people there)
Jim Johnson 0/1 (if you didn't know his name he wouldn't sign for you. Didn't recognize him right away)
Jason Hammel 1/1
Nate McLouth 0/1 (only signed big items. I didn't have an 8 by 10 or team photo so I wasn't able to land him)
Wei-Yin Chen 1/1
Buck Showalter 1/1 (gave me the death stare because I ran after the cab he was in)

Brooklyn Nets

Jerry Stackhouse 1/1
Brook Lopez 0/1 (jerk)
Kris Humphries 0/1 (jerk)
P.J. Carlesimo 1/1
Gerald Wallace 1/1
Joe Johnson 1/1
Deron Williams 1/1 (signed in legit 10 seconds and ran onto the bus)
Marshon Brooks 1/1 (love him. watched him play at Providence b/c I am a season ticket holder. He recognized me and gave me a nice knuckle pound)
Andray Blatche 1/1 (did anything you had)
Keith Bogans 1/1
Reggie Evans 1/1
Kris Joseph 1/1 (looked mad when signing)
Tyshawn Taylor 1/1 (was yelling at someone on the phone but he still signed)
Mirza Teletovic 1/1
C.J. Watson 1/1
Tornike Shengelia 1/1
Mario Elie 1/1

Next up: I am still debating between doing the Rays or the Paw Sox tomorrow.

Where do you graph the opposing players?? Do you ever go for the Sox???

I graphed Lehigh Valley and the Paw Sox 3 times during their 4 game series. I decided to go post-game twice and pre-game once. Surprisingly I was able to get David Ortiz which made these 3 days really successful.

Pawtucket Red Sox

David Ortiz 1/1 (Got him postgame. They made us stand behind a barrier. I was surprised they even put this up and when Ortiz came out he did a quick interview came over and signed. He did it b/c there was only 5 people. He was nice too when he came over. Starting talking about the tragedy in Boston)
Jose Iglesias 0/2 (When I asked him to sign he said: "Hi guys how are you doing."
Brock Holt 3/3
Jeremy Hazelbaker 2/2
Jonathan Diaz 2/2
Terry Doyle 2/2
Bryce Brentz 1/1
Brandon Snyder 1/1
Jonathan Hee 1/1
Ryan Lavarnway 1/1 (Was very surprised he came over and signed for me and my friend)
Alan Webster 1/1
Dan Butler 1/1
Pedro Beato 1/1
Drew Sutton 1/1
Chris Carpenter 1/1
Ryan Rowland-Smith 1/1
Graham Godfrey 1/1
Anthony Carter 1/1
Chris Hernandez 1/1
J.C. Linares 1/1
Unknown 1/1

Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs

Zach Minor 1/1

There was a Patriots charity basketball game this past weekend. It was $10 and I figured Chandler Jones was going to be there because of the picture he posted on Instagram a couple of days before. Instead he didn't end up showing up and I was left to graph some OK players. I was a little disappointed with who they chose for this game and I didn't have much stuff for any of the guys.

New England Patriots Charity Basketball Game

Kyle Arrington 1/1
Zoltan Mesko 1/1
Eric Alexander 1/1
Jermaine Wiggins 1/1 (former tight end. He played on the 2001 Super Bowl team)
Stephen Gostkowski 1/1

Next up is the New York Knicks in Beantown.
