Aw man! I wish I could go to one of 'em, would have liked to meet up! (I'll be out of town on Wednesday and I'm busy Tuesday).

Oh, I just realized they're away those days!

I take that back! I read the schedule wrong. Should be an interesting series. First time in team history playing the Suns!

Aw man! I wish I could go to one of 'em, would have liked to meet up! (I'll be out of town on Wednesday and I'm busy Tuesday). Tips are the usual. Get there early and go by the dugout or bullpen areas, et cetera Most of the guys have been good signers. Also, I just started a new thread for my Wahoos' graphs if you'd like to see more....

Best of luck!

Sounds good! Usually everyone in AA is a good signer!

Wish me luck- I have 55 cards for the Blue Wahoos and a whopping 8 for the Suns (the Marlins don't have too many prospects I want)!

I'll LYK how I do!

Thanks!

Alright, man! Good luck! Feel free to post them in my Wahoos thread! Oh and if you meet with Ryan LaMarre (Wahoos OF, #6) tell him Ryan the Dayton Dragons fan from Twitter say "Hi"

He's a super nice guy. I found him on Twitter and have talked to him on there and I finally met him at the game I went to last Sunday. I talked to him for a minute and he signed a photo and Dragons' pocket schedule for me.

Oh and one last thing. If there is a guy on the Suns you want it should be super easy to get him because when I went Sunday there was not one person 'graphing the Biscuits. (Everyone was just interested in the Wahoos obviously.) I found their manager (Billy Gardner Jr.) in the dugout by himself and had him sign a photo. I was probably the only person to walk out of the stadium with a Biscuits autograph. I also tried to get Hak-Ju Lee (Former Cubbie) but I never could get to him because he was warming up and what not.

Just remembered one piece of information you may like to know!

Every Tuesday at the Wahoos' games is "Team Tuesday"
(And I quote the following from the Wahoos' website)
"Team Tuesday - Come out and join the Wahoos for a special player autograph session behind home plate. Don’t miss out on this fun opportunity to meet and greet players of the inaugural season!"

Can't believe I forgot to mention that! Again, best of luck!

No mail today guys but I am not ending this day empty handed! A friend was able to get me a signed program from Mr. "Blue Lou" Marini today. Mr. Marini is a saxophone player (One of the instruments I play) and he was a member of the "Saturday Night Live" house band from 1975 (1st season of SNL) to 1983 and he was also a member of the Blues Brothers and played himself in both "Blues Brothers" movies. (By the way, if you have not seen the first BB's movie you have not lived! Awesome film. Directed by TTM signer John Landis, and of course it was originally a skit on SNL with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi.) Mr. Marini was in town this week playing with a local college's jazz band for a concert and a friend of mine who used to go to my high school now goes to the college and is in the jazz band and got to play with Lou. He knew I collected autographs so he got Lou to sign a program for me. Really cool! Thanks to my friend Colin!

Hey guys! Just got back from a school trip and came back home to one TTM success! Now I e-mailed this guy previously to get an address for him and sent off to him, and got the return in Saturday.This is Mr. Steven Jayson and he is the Executive Chef at Universal Studios Orlando (has been for over 20 years). He's the head honcho when it comes to the food down there and he does one heck of a job. I'm a big Universal fan and the park in Orlando is wonderful! Mr. Jayson is also the man credited with coming up for the "Butterbeer" recipe which they serve at the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" at the UOR's Islands of Adventure. Mr. Jayson signed all three photos I sent him and inscribed them with "Great Food Rocks!" "Have Fun In Life" and "It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This". Thanks so much Chef Jayson!

Hey guys,

No mail today but I just wanted to point out that baseball has lost a legend today. Yankees legend Mr. Bill "Moose" Skowron lost his fight with lung cancer today at the age of 81. Great player in his day, 8x All-Star, and he's won five World Series with two different teams, also a great man to the TTM community. I actually have a beautiful autograph of Mr. Skowron from 2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Classic. R.I.P.




I also made a video tribute in memory of Mr. Skowron-

Received a very awesome success for my new "Film Score Composers" autograph collection! Probably one of my favorite composers of all time Mr. Alan Silvestri. Mr. Silvestri has done the music for a ton of films in his lifetime. Just recently he wrote the score for "The Avengers" and some of his famous works include the scores for "Forrest Gump", "Cast Away", the "Back To The Future" trilogy, and "The Polar Express". I sent Mr. Silvestri three photos and he signed all three! Thanks so much Alan!
