Everyone rode the first bus on day 1, so I decided to go to the hotel around 12:45 to catch guys getting
on the bus. I got there around 12:50 to find out that BJ Upton had signed 30minutes before I got there.
But the day got better as five minutes later Justin Upton came walking out and he stopped. After that
the day heated up.

Jason Heyward 1/1 8x10 (My dad got at stadium while I was still at Hotel)
Gerald Laird and Dan Uggla signed while I was getting Freddie Freeman.
BJ Upton came back from Lunch with Justin and Freeman and told me he was done signing today. I
proceededto show him that I have his jersey on and he said that I don’t care.

Here are some photos minus a few baseballs that were all ready put away:byThanks for looking and if someone knows how to make the pics a little smaller I would greatly appreciate the help. I am also interested in taking 50/50 for teams that I will be doing. I do MLB, Triple A, and Single A baseball. Some teams I will be doing include the Braves, Giants, Indians, Syracuse Chiefs, West Virginia Power, Columbus Clippers, A's, Mariners, Byron Buxton, and a few other MLB and Triple A teams that I cannot remember. Please PM me if interested.

nice successes. i'm a bit of a Braves fan myself, so i'm envious of a lot of those.
I go to about 10-12 Rays games a year, and in BJ's entire tenure with the team, I never got him. Only seen him sign once, and he skipped me in favor of all the kids around me.

Thanks! I hope to do just as well with them in Milwaukee. But I'm not worried about BJ anymore, he's batting .150 and I'm done begging him.

I've graphed the Rays so many times in St. Pete and only seen BJ sign once, and it was only for a handful of people. I was lucky enough to get him, though, at a signing the Rays put on. He's definitely the toughest I've ever come across

May 27 Cleveland Indians @ Cincinnati Reds
Sorry for the day delay but I had unexpected work yesterday and needed the rest after the long day.
Let me start out by saying I got up at 4 A.M. for the 1 o'clock game and my dad was too tired to go so I was going solo for the day. Wish I had the help as I could have had more done as I have never seen a better signing team and never had as good of a day in a long time. I am just going to list it all as if I did pregame, at the stadium and after the game the list would become confusing as
Sandy Alomar Jr. 1/1 SS ROMLB, 1/8 card strict 1 per
Jason Giiambi 1/1 SS ROMLB, Wish i had help as he was signin at least 4 a piece
Zach McAllister 1/1 card
Rich Hill 4/5 cards, 1 per but had help from others with nothing
Ubaldo Jimenez 2/2 cards
Mark Reynolds 2/2 cards
Michael Brantley 1/1 card
Asdrubal Cabrera 1/1 card, he only signed 5 total he would take a card and sign as he walked but he would take 10 steps before ink hit card.
Jason Kipnis 1/2 card, if anyone wants to help me with a 50/50 on him I need a 2012 GQ or if you have for trade I'm interested
Justin Masterson 1/1, same as Kipnis but I for my GQ card for him
Nick Swisher 1/1 SP ROMLB, 1/4 card
Matt Albers 1/1 card
Ryan Raburn 1/2 card
Terry Francona 1/1 SS ROMLB, About didn't sign as some nonregular yelled I hope Detroit beats you as he was walking into the hotel door.
Drew Stubbs 1/2 card
Scott Kazmir 1/1 card
Mike Aviles 1/1 card
People that I missed out on:
Chris Perez 0/2 He left the hotel to go to the airport before he was officially on the DL and din't sign
Nick Hagadone 0/1 signed bit left card at home as I didn't know he got called up
Joe Smith 0/1 Never recognized him
Vinnie Pestano 0/1 Never recognized him
Michael Bourn 0/3 Signed inside but when he got to me one of my friends double dipped him and set his card on my binder and he thought I was him.
Carlos Santana 0/3 Walked back but not into the hotel said when he gets back. Comes out of the hotel no idea how he got in said he would sign when he gets back again, but I left at 10 as I had a 3 and a half hour drive home and I don't have a phone number to ask the two guys if he did sign.
And my kick in the butt moment:
Jay Bruce: He showed up to go out with Stubbs and I didn/t bring any of my reds stuff with me for the day (Grrr.) as I still need him om a 2012 GQ and 12' Topps, but I helped someone out and got a 2012 Giambi I needed, so all was not lost.
Thanks for the read and sorry for the long post.
