Hey guys! Went to the last game vs. the Generals tonight! Wahoos won 4-0!

Pregame

Generals-

Lance Painter - Pitching Coach - 1/1 - He was sitting in the pitcher warm-up area and I got him to sign for me.


Wahoos-

Jim Riggleman - Manager - 1/1 - This is for my buddy Justin! Be sure to check out his blog - http://just-in-justinsworld.blogspot.com/


Eric Davis - Cincinnati Reds Legend - 1/2 - Saw Eric again tonight and he signed a photo for me!


Rick Scott - Current Governor Of Florida - 1/1 - To my surprise the Governor of Florida Rick Scott was at the game! I went over to where he was sitting and he made eye contact with me and saw I wanted an autograph so I went over to him and he signed my index card. We also talked and I got a picture! Very nice man!



Postgame

Wahoos- Got all of these out at the Player exit near the parking lot.

Koyie Hill - Catcher - 2/2 - Was glad to meet him! I'm a Cubbies fan. The top one is going to my friend Justin.


Brodie Greene - Shortstop - 1/1


Didi Gregorius - Shortstop - 2/2 - Nice guy! I love Didi.


Total - 9

Wahoos vs. Barons last night. Unfortunately the ol' Wahoos couldn't pull it off. They lost 6-4.


Pregame

Barons-

Bobby Magallanes - Manager - 1/1 - Said he liked my photo! That's two managers in a row to say that



Bobby Thigpen - Pitching Coach - 2/2 - Ol' Mr. "57 Saves In 1990" came over and signed for me and another guy! Really nice!



Nestor Molina- Pitcher - 2/2 - One of the nicest players I've met to date! He's the number 2 prospect in the White Sox organization. When I saw him come out I asked if he could sign and he said "Yeah, but not now. I have to go". So he went and did his thing out in the field. I continued to watch batting practice for about ten minutes and next thing I know he's right there next to me and said "Hey. You wanted me to sign". He signed my photos and I also spoke with him briefly then I thanked and he went on his way. Class act move! I like a man that stays true to his word! Oh, and what was funny is he had a Blue Wahoos towel that was yesterday's giveaway at the game with him. Guess he wanted one as well! Also, cool signature, eh? I love his "N"!



Wahoos-

Didi Gregorius - Shortstop - 1/1 - I love Didi! (As I've mentioned before). I asked him if he knew he was the Reds' #7 prospect and he smiled and said he doesn't follow that kind of stuff.




Postgame

Wahoos-

Ryan LaMarre- Outfielder - 1/1 - Signed the same photo as Didi. Now I just need Brodie!



Total- 7

Dude you are OWNING the Blue Wahoos. Good work!

[ryeinc]

Despite the heat I ventured out to today's match-up of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos and the Mississippi Braves. Final game of the series and what a game to go to! Our new guy Andrew Means was the hero hitting the game deciding home run. Despite being down most of the game, the Wahoos pulled it off 7 to 5. Nice job boys! We had awesome seats as well, behind the visitor dugout! Really nice view!

Pregame

Braves-

Cory Rasmus - Pitcher - 1/1 - Yes, this is Colby's brother!
Chris Masters - Pitcher - 1/1
Chris Jones - Pitcher - 1/1
Gary Moran - Pitcher - 1/1


Mike Alvarez - Pitching Coach - 1/1


Zeke Spruill - Pitcher - 1/1 - Zeke was very nice! Signed for all of us!


Todd Cunningham - Outfielder - 1/1 - He and I talked about the Rome Braves logo for a second as that was who he was with when the picture was taken. Pretty cool logo, eh?


Andrelton Simmons - Shortstop - 2/2 - Possible next big thing, fellas! Number two prospects in the Braves organization, number sixty-five in all of baseball! I told him how I liked the photo on the left and he said "Is that when I dropped the ball?" and I went "Err...yeah. There's a couple on the Internet" and he got a laugh out of that. Great game he played today! He's a beast!



Sean Gilmartin - Pitcher - 2/2 - Nice guy, he was talking to a girl when I went up to him but I didn't ask until he finished. I also got a card (not pictured) signed for my friend on YouTube.


Kevin Saucier - Pitcher - Minor League Scout - Met Pensacola native, EHS (My high school) alumnus, and former MLB pitcher Kevin Saucier out there today! He's a Southern League scout at the moment. SUPER nice guy! I spoke with him for a while and had said I go to EHS (I had him sign his graduating year on my index card) and what not. He even let me take a photo of his 1980 Phillies World Series ring, ain't it a beauty?





And no Wahoos, and no post-game 'graphs. Just Braves pre-game.

Total - 12 (A new record for me!)

Great night at the ballpark tonight! Wahoos won on a walkoff in the 12th vs. the Marlins AA team the Jacksonville Suns, and I got a boatload of autographs! Let's begin.....

Pregame

Suns-

Andy Barkett - Manager - 3/3 - Nice guy! Told me he get me after batting practice but changed his mind and signed for me right when I asked.


Graham Taylor - Pitcher - 1/1 - Maybe it's just me, but I LOVE the Marlins new logo.


Kyle Skipworth - Catcher - 2/2 - 2008 first round pick and 15th top prospect for the Marlins. Nice guy too, gave my friend's little girl a bat last night.


Kyle Jensen - Outfielder - 1/2 - I goofed on this one. He probably would've sign both but I accidently but one on top of the other and he didn't see the second one.


John Duffy - Pitching Coach - 1/1 - Got him right as the game was about to start in the bullpen.


Wahoos-

Daniel Corcino - Pitcher - 2/2 - Johnny Cueto Jr. as I call him! Possible next big thing, fellas!

David Vidal - Third Baseman - 1/1 - Newer guy on the team.

J.C. Sulbaran - Pitcher - 2/2 - Silent, but friendly


Ryan LaMarre - Outfielder - 1/1 - I love Ryan, nice guy!
Chris Berset - Catcher - 1/1 - Newer guy on the team, very nice, he liked my photo! He and Ryan played together at the University of Michigan, pretty cool!


Brodie Greene - Shortstop - 2/2 - Completed my Wahoos Prospects photo previously signed by Ryan and Didi! Also got a card signed for my buddy dtfboy888 on YouTube.


...and last but not least, our ol' skipper Riggs.
Jim Riggleman - Manager - 1/1 - Completed my photo previously signed by Biscuits manager Billy Gardner Jr. I love having Riggs as a manager, good guy, short fused at times, but overall a good guy. Plus he's a former Cubbies skipper



Total ladies and gentlemen- 21 'graphs, a new Ryeinc record!
Can I get some Montell Jordan playing?

Those milestone/achievement photos you are doing look really cool. Good idea.
