Winter Warm Up Recap: Day 1

[gysot]

That Yadi catchers helmet is an amazing piece bro, congrats! When I was in line for Descalso, I seen someone have Yadi autograph a 3 foot tall bobblehead lol. Yadi had a dumbfounded look on his face haha..Someone else at the Caravan had Joe Kelly sign a copy of Call of Duty:Ghosts. I wonder what goes through these peoples heads when they have stars sign odd stuff lol..I kept it simple, pics or baseballs (mainly balls).
Dsolz- I was supposed to get Wong at the Caravan but he no showed. They claim he "missed the bus", but he didn't attend ANY Caravan sessions. Whatever lol. I wanted Wacha, but I can't justify paying $70 for a relatively unproven rookie. He's gotta come down to Earth at some point, I'll wait. I'm gonna try to get Wacha n Wong during ST.
Overall, I'm glad I went to both events. It's really fun and a laid back event. At games it's like a crapshoot, but at these events you KNOW you're getting what you want. Kinda makes me wanna go to like RedsFest, Cubs Fest etc. a few teams have them. After this weekends festivities, I'm gonna set my sights to Spring Training. I'm super excited for that too. It's been a good few weeks for me for graphing and it'll continue into ST. I'm beyond excited!

The caravan came through Springfield on Friday. They claimed Wong was stuck in Hawaii because of the weather...lol!

I also read that Yadier did a big private signing while in Jupiter last week. He's probably sick of signing his name his week!

Well, I hope he's not signed out yet. I know he's a very serious person but the days I saw him in Jupiter last week he hasn't done much smiling.

For what it's worth, I talked to the owner of a memorabilia store here in STL. They've had Yadi do signings a few times in the past, and he said Yadi absolutely HATES signing baseballs. He don't mind anything else, but for whatever reason does not like signing baseballs at all. HATES it lol so yeah, hopefully someone found that tidbit helpful lol
