8/27/15 Visalia Rawhide vs Bakersfield Blaze

Daniel Palka. After the season he has had I cannot believe he is still ranked #29 in the Diamondbacks system. He may have even dropped a spot.
All-star with .280 avg, 27 hr, 85 rbi 23 sb.


Jamie Westbrook, just named to the post-season all star team.

Also got this TTM. When he came to town earlier this season he didn't have any cards out yet so this is nice to get back. :)
He was also not at the all star game because he was already in double A.

9/3/15 Lancaster Jethawks vs. Bakersfield Blaze

Lancaster came to town for the 2nd time this season.
Minor league prospect of the year AJ Reed had already been called up of course, but this time #2 overall pick Alex Bregman was on the team.
I tried to make the most of this.

Here is what I was able to get signed:

9/7/15 San Jose Giants vs. Bakersfield Blaze.

Last series of the season.
This was about clearing out everything I still had unsigned for these teams and it went pretty well.

Tyler O'neill. Mariners prospect of the year. He had an amazing 2nd half of the season hitting a ton of homers. I wonder when he will get a Topps/Bowman card.



Ryan Yarbrough


Austin Wilson


Got some other Blaze cards signed as well.

Aramis Garcia & Angel Villalona (He's no angel)


Christian Arroyo 8x10 x3

Next season I am hoping to see Dansby Swanson, Brendan Rogers, Alex Jackson, Dillon Tate, Daz Cameron, Grant Holmes, Kyle Tucker, Forrest Wall and many others come through Bakersfield.

Nice job on everything this year! Hope maybe next season we can do some 50/50's!

[Go Sox]

Thanks. I would not mind doing some 50/50's. I try to go to at least 1 game per series.

[Go Sox]

The 2016 season has begun and despite working out of town during the week I am still going to try and make it to at least 1 Bakersfield Blaze game a series this season.

As soon as the team rosters were announced I ordered cards of a bunch of players, but I did not have a ton to get signed for the first two games. Here is what I was able to get from game 1.

Blaze vs Rawhide: All of these autographs were obtained in the rain!

Bakersfield Blaze vs. Lake Elsinore Storm

I did not have a ton to get signed for this team, some of the players I had cards of were on the DL.

The biggest name on the team is obviously Javier Guerra.
