dsolzman's success thread

Found out that a private signing with Gregory Polanco is in the works. Just a matter of whether or not the Pirates promote him before the scheduled date.

That would be awesome if there was!

Just a matter of timing. If it doesn't happen now, it will be at the end of the season. Polanco did some signing last spring but does not appear to be signing TTM any more.

Went to the Cards/Reds game last night. I did not hang out by the gate as players entered or left though. Contrary to one article I read, the set was being taken down late in the game so Karl and Barry were not doing a segment outside for SportsCenter.

I had interviewed Dan Shulman earlier this month so I made arrangements to meet him upstairs prior to the game for a photo. I happened to get lucky that Marty Brennaman was outside the press box so I asked him if I could get a photo taken with him. Since I was with my family for my dad's birthday, Dan posed with most of us for a photo.

After the family photo, I took out an 8x10 for Dan to sign. I'll scan that in later.

Here's the 8x10 that Dan Shulman signed (the angle is because he used his leg rather than a flat surface):
