Frisco RoughRiders Vs the Springfield cardinals
On Saturday I went to see the Frisco RoughRiders Vs the Springfield cardinals. It was Pink replica Jersey night. That is what I decided to try to get Signed. In Springfield they have a player stationed at each gate to sign before the game, But when we went in the player hadn't got there yet. So I went to go to the other gate. As I was walking to the other gate I saw my favorite player on the team Daryl Jones walking to a door. I said " Daryl" he saw me walked over and signed my jersey. I walked to the other gate and walked up to Tyler Norrick. Because of a rain out on Thursday the game was a double header and the heat index was supposed to get to over 100. As he signed my jersey I said "You ready for today" to which he responded "I'm ready, But I don't think that is going to matter". I then walked over to the last gate and got Matt Carpenter and Jose Garcia. My seats where right by the dugout but I did not ask for any autographs when the players where going in. After the 1st game there was a 30 minute wait until the start of the second game.
So I went up top to get a water, and when I got back to my seat there was another guy standing by the dugout waiting on the players. He had called a player over and as he was walking over I saw the cardinals batting coach walking by , so I walked over and said "Coach May could you please sign". He looked at me and then walkeD over. As he was signing my jersey I said "Coach May I was a huge fan of yours as a kid when you where with the cubs" He got a huge smile on his face chuckled and said" You didn't tell anybody did you", we both started laughing he thanked me for being his fan and walked on. I went and sat back down. I feel really weird asking players for there auto because I am older than most of them. While I was sitting I looked over and the other guy was getting most of the players to sign. He was probably as old as I am so I went and stood by him. I ended up getting 5 more autos. The very last Pearson to walk by was the pitching coach. I looked at him and said "Coach Martinez Could you please sign". He looked up at me and sorta frowned and shook his head no. I said thank you anyway.
I ended up getting
Antonio DeJesus, Daryl Jones, Jose Garcia, Matt Carpenter, Casey Mulligan, Tyler Norrick, Jermaine Curtis, Francisco Samuel, Curt Smith, and Coach Derrick May.
I hoped to get Daryl Jones, Coach Derrick May, and Coach Dennis Martinez. Two out of three is not bad.
