Dave, if I would have known it was Carp you were after I would have told you what I know about him from my years of getting him at ST. I don't normally see him signing before or even after games (whether he pitches or not!). The only times I have gotten him is very early in the morning when he comes in or the season tix signing day. I will say that when I have gotten him in the mornings he will sign whatever I have and will always ask me exactly the spot where I want it (weird but I appreciate it!). The way I found out about the spot was the first time I asked him to sign a Cards logo. He asked where do you want it and I said anywhere you want. He said, "no, point to where you want it."

Good info. I heard a couple people got down to the stadium really early, but never saw him enter. He may come back down here in the next 30 days and I might try going really early to catch him...depending on the day or not.
