Good day in Chicago
Ok... here's how my trip to Chicago went:
First, my family wanted to go walk around Chicago and look at all the sites, so of course I had to go with them. I brought my cards and a baseball and a few pens, just in case we ran into any Astros walking around before going to the ballpark. Well it paid off. I was walking down the street when I looked over and saw Jeff Bagwell coming out of the Westin Hotel in Chicago. So I ran across the road, (almost got hit by 4 cars) and got him to sign a ball and take a pic with me. He was pretty friendly. So I found thd hotel the Astros were staying at, and convinced my family to go on without me and pick me up later. So I got autos there... B4 the game at Wrigley and after the game outside the park. Here's my success:
Baseball #1: John Tomargo
Geoff Blum
Adam Everett
Greg Zaun
Orlando Merced
Craig Biggio
Lance Berkman
Jeff Bagwell
Baseball #2: Jeff Bagwell (Sweetspot)
Cards: Jeff Bagwell
Brad Ausmus
Morgan Ensberg
So I think it was a pretty successful day. Let me know what you guys think.
ANY OF THESE AUTOS ARE FOR TRADE... Make me an offer in PM.. I will specify the card types.Last edited by HoBaFoo66; 08-15-2003 at 09:59 PM.

that is sweet most teams that play in Chicago, stay at the Westin across from the John Hancock building...I know the Twins stay there as well...if you try calling there, most of the stars stay there under ficticious names, I know that Kirby used Donald Duck or some other Disney Character...

Yea... my family was up in the Hancock building while I was at the Westin. The security guards there suck though. I was eating at the resturaunt connnected to the Westin.. and sitting at the tables outside... WITH MY FOOD and said I wasnt allowed to get autogtraphs there, and I had to take my food inside. What the heck are the tables for then??

Yeah I have eaten there before, and those tables I assumed were for eating outside, you can usually find alot of players at the Cheesecake factory in the hancock building, I know a lot of players that love that place.
Also at the Westin if you chill in the seats by the Valet area you will find a lot of players coming and going as that is the only elevator that goes up to their rooms...

Yea... I was arguing with the security guard because I wanted to sit there, and he sent me across the street to sit and wait for the playersbecause he said they hate to be botherd. Then Adam Everett came out, and I yelled his name and he actually came across the street for me and signed and talked to me for a few mintues, then he left and I looked over at the guard and smiled and he gave me this huge glare. It was awesome. Yeah.. I saw Greg Zaun and John Tambrano (i dont know how to spell his name) at the cheesecake factory. By the way... man that place is good!
