Chrisborene 2014 ip autograph thread

[chrisborene]

On 4/1 I went to the la dodger game in sd,

i had no luck pregame(hotel) or inside stadium before game, but after game I got Adrian Gonzalez as he exited petco on my dodger poster.

on 4/2 I tried my luck again with much better success

rick Honeycutt 2/2 cards 1/1 canvas print poster
brian Wilson 1/1 8x10 I took with him the previous yr, 1/1 card '13 topps update, 1/1 official authentic road jersey bought off mlb.com
chris Perez 1/1 poster
jamey wright 1/1 poster
paco Rodriguez 1/1 poster
Chine figgins 1/1 poster
and...........

mark mcgwire 1/1 dodger poster, was only doing 1 per so I decided to get my poster done over his '85 topped rookie card

but my dodger poster now 100 current of former dodger players coaches, and radio announcers, super psyched to hit triple digits!!!

my next foray into autographing will be either a paid signing on 4/12 for jerry reuss, or a Rancho Cucamonga quakes game on 4/25, Brian Wilson quakes bobble head night, or unless I get the bug sooner to go down to rc, they got a stacked team, 2013 1st rd pick Chris Andersen, '13 2nd rd pick tom windless, Corey Seager, and 17 yr old Julio urias, who I hope to get multiple times during their tenure in Rancho.

We'll my next attempt for autographs was earlier this evening as josh Beckett was making a rehab start for the Rancho Cucamonga quakes, in Rancho Cucamonga,ca tonight, let me start off by saying Beckett did sign but literally for like 2 minutes and got probably about 10-12 people, he could have took another 10-15 minutes and got one for everybody

but I was looking to mainly get autos from all the quakes young guns so here are my results

tom windle 1/1 baseball
chris Andersen 1/1 baseball
corey Seager 2/2 baseball cards
and Julio Urias 1/1 baseball, Julio throws great stuff for being only 17 and struck out the side in he 8th inning tonight

next foray into autographing will definitely be a return trip to Rancho Cucamonga on 4/25 for Brian Wilson quakes bobble head night, unless I get the urge to go there sooner

Went back to Rancho Cucamonga quakes on Friday for Brian Wilson quakes bobblebeard night/Clayton kershaws rehab appearance, well Clayton didn't sign before he entered in or while warming up promising he would on the way out which he did( mainly for kids baseballs and a few new bobbleheads) signed about 30ish I'm guessing and I wasn't one of them..

But I did get the following pre game

Corey Seager 6/6 cards 1/1 8x10 pic I took with him last yr

Julio Urias 1/1 baseball( sweet spots right now without even asking) I now got 2 signed balls from him

Next adventure will be trip back to rancho on 5/23 unless I decide to go somewhere sooner

Went to Rancho Cucamonga to watch the quakes once again, with my main goal being to get my stash of Julio Urias cards signed. And get my yasiel puig quakes bobblehead.(which I got)👍

Pregame I got pitching coach matt herges to sign 4/4 cards

Post game I got the following
Tom windle 1/1 card
Chris Anderson 1/1 cards
And
Julio Urias 12/12 bowman cards, and a picture with, he is more than accomadating after the game to sign by the player exit and I've noticed in the 3 times I've been there , usually a good sized group will be there mainly waiting for him and he signs pretty much everything put in front of him. I'm going again on June 7th for kemp quakes bobblehead night and I'll have another stash of cards for him to sign!!!

Went to the Rancho Cucamonga quakes game this evening for Matt kemp quakes bobblehead and here are my results

pregame I got 2 cards signed by Corey Seager but one of them smeared beyond recognition
and 1 card signed by Julio urias

postgame I got 7 more cards and an 8x10 I took last time with Julio urias, he is a super signer right now and I have a big stash of urias cards left so I hope I can go again in the next few weeks!!!
