It's not baseball but UFC former Champ Matt Huhes was in OKC to promote a fight at Grand Casino.
Matt Hughes 4/4, talked about Royce Gracie fight....amazing conversation
Also TUF winner Julianna Pena was there and she was smokin hot but so nice. Had a conversation about the TUF season. Funny thing is she said Rhonda really is crazy like the show portrays.
Julianna Pena 1/1
Pic with both! Just a cool expierence!

6/9 & 6/11
SLC @ OKC


This was a sad bit of graphing, not that team signed horribly but half the cards I had were for players called up or on DL. Most of team signs except Brennan Boesch, he is deaf and can not hear anyone.


Brennan Boesch 0/9, pre game-pregame-post game
Vance Albitz 3/3, yep all I had or he would have racked
JB Shuck 3/9, 3/6 both pre games
Ill stop here and say I got no one post game on 6/11, it's just to damn hard and a total waste of time
Grant Green 3/9
Justin Thomas 1/3 on 8x10 for Military, don't think he saw cards as he was starting and rushed
Joel Pineiro never saw him
Taylor Lindsey on DL
Ian Stewart did not travel
Zachary Borenstein 1/9, 1/3 just 1 per


Anyways on 6/11 I was only graphed for SLC and had zero kids in area. Boesch still ignored despite my efforts, then 1 on 1 post game and he ignored me again. Is this guy just jaded about being in AAA or allergic to ink? Anyone else try him?


SEASON TOTAL 579

Just did pregame had a family dinner to attend.
Travis d'Arnoaud 2/2
Cory Vaughn 2/2
Cesar Peullo did not come out
Kirk Nieunhaus ignored again
Danny Muno 3/3
Frank Viola 3/3
Allen Dykstra 5/5
Never saw Montero but did see Joel Carrano and Noah Syndergaard walking in to chart.
Syndergaard 0/3, asked him if he had time to sign and he looked at me and told me he did not have time to sign
Wally Backman has been hiding in the dugout and I have not been able to call him over or get his attention yet.


All Muno, Vaughn, Viola and Dykstra cards are done so if you sent them they are complete. Hope to finish off Puello tonight and maybe get a Nieunhaus. I can't stay post game so I doubt I'll get Syndergaard or Montero (Boo!)

Really only went to get Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero but once again could only do pregame.


Syndergaard was the starting pitcher and denied on way out to pen
Travis d'Arnaud 1/2, I didn't even see him but he came right over and was ready to sign. He signed the 8x10 but wouldn't do the card I had with it.

Cory Vaughn 1/1
Daniel Muno 0/1 never came out of Dugout
Kirk Nieunhaus ignored again like the last 2 games
Cesar Puello 5/5, signed 8x10 and 4 cards-I ahd to ask him to sign 8x10
I never saw Goedell, Carrano or Montero pregame
Several other players signed but I had nothing for them. Night was mostly a bust except for the top notch Stache photo my son got with Frank Viola.

[J_A_S_Z]

Just to reflect upon this season a bit.

I think my numbers would be a solid 200-300 higher if postgame was like last year but the changes have really taken the fun out of graphing. I have spent a little more time in Tulsa this season as a result of the tougher graphing in OKC. The season is winding down and I'm hoping to hit the 1000 autograph mark for this season but we have a couple tough signing teams on the horizon. I expect to attend 1 game per series from here on out and maybe 3 for Round Rock and Iowa.

I was hoping to be able to keep better announcements of who cards were getting completed but I have been extra busy at work and home. I will take about 2 weeks to get back all the 50/50's at the end of the season as a result of my taking a boatload of cards for multiple people on 2 different collecting sites. Another thing is that the rosters have been in flux all season and I had several people send cards and players were not here.

Thanks, Aaron
