Rudickulous IP Successes

[Rudickulous]

So I just felt like having a separate IP success thread just to let people know the difference. Heading to the Indians v. Rays game tonight...any idea who's a good signer on the Rays?

Interesting Successes tonight at the Tribe vs Rays game tonight

Batting Practice/ Pre-game- 1/1 Autographed Ticket- Elliot Johnson, SS for the Tampa Bay Rays. Came over and was really nice. Signed quite a few items then went away. Luke Scott came over to a personal friend, however I was too far away and unable to get anything from him.

After the game:

Waited around in the parking lot for a while; saw the usual people like Choo and Cabrera leave without acknowledging the existence of the fans. There was also a firework show afterwards and events were slow. I felt like leaving, that was until i saw something interesting. It looked like former GM and current team manager Mark Shapiro. I screamed out his name and asked him to sign, sure enough it was him.

1/1 Mark Shapiro- Eastern League Ball. Really had nothing else for him to sign. What's worse is that he signed the ball with a sharpie. A piece of me hurt a little bit, but I'd rather have the auto then no auto at all. Plus its a cool piece to have as an Indians fan.

2/2 Chris Perez- Now a 2x All-Star. I caught Perez signing near a white tent next to the Indians parking garage. Right when I got to him, I handed him over my 2012 heritage. As he was almost finished, I remember that he use to be a rookie of my all-time favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals. So i asked him to sign my Cardinals hat, and he reached out and grabbed it. Awesome guy, but perhaps not as good as...

1/1 Justin Masterson- This is my 2nd time getting him this year and the guy is truly a class act. The man had an off night and lost in a bad start against the Rays. Normally, players may be in a bad mood and blow off fans. Masterson went out of his way to sign for one side of the fence, walk over to the other side of the fence, and sign for the other side. He even took time out of signing to answer a question that I had about his signature. That guy will always have my respect because of that.


Pics of this will be up tomorrow. Overall, a pretty cool night.
