Monday 2/25
Chicago Cubs vs Los Angeles Dodgers spring training game at Camelback Ranch

This was my last day in AZ. I had 1 primary goal which was to try and get Brett Jackson from the Cubs as he was a Cal Golden Bear baseball alumni. Second goal was to try and get Jorge Soler on his Leaf Stars card. Other than that I wanted to continue to get Dodgers where I could.

The Cubs did not send most of their starters so aside from a couple minor league guys of note there were not many big names at the game.

Before the game I got some more Dodgers

Scott Elbert 1/3
Javy Guerra 1/4
Elian Herrera 2/4
Dee Gordon 1/2
Brandon League 1/4
Matt Magill 1/1
Aaron Harang 1/2
Kevin Gregg 1/1
Tony Gwynn Jr 1/1
Rick Honeycutt 1/1
Yasiel Puig OMLB SP

I had a chance at Hanley Ramirez as he took another exit from the one where everyone else was trying to get autographs. He signed about 8 or 9 items but stopped before he got to me.

Inside the stadium before the game I waited on the Cubs. Was able to get:
Javier Baez 2/2
Jorge Soler 1/1
Brett Jackson 2/4

Tampa Bay Rays vs Colorado Rockies 5/3/2013

Fernando Rodney 1/1
Ben Zobrist 1/1

Waited outside player's entrance beforehand and got zilch. Those that came in that way didn't stop, others went through the front gate of Coors or took team bus.

Iowa Cubs vs Colorado Sky Sox (AAA) 5/10/2013

Before game:

Nick Struck 2/2
Ian Stewart 3/5
Josh Vitters 1/4
Logan Watkins 1/1
Brett Jackson 1/8
Darnell McDonald 1/1
Dave Sappelt 2/2

After game:

Brett Jackson 1/8
Josh Vitters 1/3
Mike Mason 2/2

I mainly went there to see Brett Jackson as he is a California Golden Bear alum. He was 1 per and a bit crabby after the game but since I still had one more 2009 Elite of him in his Cal uniform I consider it a success.

San Francisco Giants vs Colorado Rockies 5/16/13
Giants at Hotel

Hunter Pence 1/4
Brandon Crawford 2/2
Ryan Vogelsong 3/3

Many of the players got on the team bus and of those not a single one came out to sign. Those players taking cabs were more accommodating.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs Colorado Rockies 5/31/13
Dodgers at Hotel

Only was able to get guys who walked to stadium or took cabs. All the players that went on team bus wouldn't sign. Strangest moment was Zach Greinke. He came out and walked towards those of us waiting without being asked and proceeded to sign for everybody there. He didn't say a single word and seemed a world away.

Chris Capuano 1/4
Zach Greinke 1/4
Brandon League 1/4
Tim Federowicz 4/4
Scott Van Slyke 2/2
Luis Cruz 3/3
Rick Honeycutt 2/3
Tim Wallach 2/4
