Winter warm up 2014

[RealBrianD]

Just wondering if anyone else will be attending the Cardinals Winter Warm Up 2014?? I got my pass the other day and can't wait. All I wanna know is, who's coming with me? (Half Baked reference? YES!)

good luck... i wish i lived in st louis

I just moved here a few months ago. I never even knew this event existed until I moved here! Kinda wish I woulda been here last year, Michael Wacha autograph was only $5, this year it's $70!!!
Needless to say, I'm not getting Wacha lol. But I will take a gamble on all the other $5 guys. Plus I'm getting Joe Kelly ($25), Shelby Miller ($25) Pete Kozma ($5) Daniel Descalso ($15) and Kolten Wong ($15)... Plus a bunch of prospects are signing for FREE...should be a good time. Wish u could make it bud!

make sure you go to the caravan if your in the area. they stop at 15 different cities in the area.i always go to the one in cape girardeau since im fromt he area.....last year i got : wacha,adams,sam freeman,ryan franklin,ricky horton and brad thompson for free. (5$ admission)

I live in Overland, so I'm literally right outside St Louis. Takes me 20 minutes to drive to Busch Stadium. I got a Winter Warm Up pass for free (former military). That would be awesome if the caravan came here, but I don't think it does. I also read that only kids 15 and under are allowed autographs. I coulda misread it though, I was just skimming. That would be cool to see if I don't get autos I want at WWU. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it...what exactly is the caravan btw?

[RealBrianD]

I just double checked and it says this:
"Due to high demand for autographs we will again be implementing an autograph ticket policy. Kids 15 and under get one free ticket.....autograph tickets are only available to children 15 and under"
so basically, adults get the shaft lol...so not only would I have had to pay $40 for the WWU pass, but also $ for EACH AND EVERY autograph I want. Glad I at least got the pass for free lol...I wonder if they would allow my son (he's only 2) to get an autograph ticket at the caravan. I could say the autographs are for him! I'm passing all my graphs down to him when I pass away anyway lol

I wish I could be at the WWU. I'll have several friends there, mostly in the media room!

The Reds Caravan opens autographs up to everyone. I was the only person at the stop here that wore a Cards shirt. Suffice it to say, I got Jocketty and Thom Brennaman's autographs since those were the only ones I wanted. I already had Jay Bruce on a program from when he played in AAA. Joe Morgan was doing photos only. For now, I only have him on an index card.

I really hope that Bench is a part of the Caravan stop this year just so I could get a photo with him.

theyve said that past 2 years, but they always have time left over since most people clear out with their kids leaving time. ive had no problems past 2 years.

bring a kid with you (cousin/neice/nephew/etc) lol

In regards to the caravan...it all depends on the Scotty. Springfield might have a 1000 people so the kid rule is strictly enforced.
