Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights - UNOFFICIAL
Tyler Jay - 18/18 Cards
Kyle Hudson - 5/5 Cards
Kevin Duchene - 1/1 Baseball
I went to the Illinois Fighting Illini baseball game today, and saw the #3 team in the country continue their dominant win streak (23 games and counting!). I know a lot of people don't care about college baseball but this team is stacked with MLB talent. 6-8 players could get drafted in June. The best of them, closer Tyler Jay (projected 1st Rd. Pick) signed 18/18 cards from the 2015 Panini Team USA set. #1 SP Kevin Duchene (projected 2nd Rd. Pick) signed an Official NCAA baseball sweet spot. Former MLBer and current assistant coach Kyle Hudson signed 5/5 2012 Topps RC. All these college players are absolutely great about signing. Look out for these names in the draft, Tyler Jay could be the next Sale, Rodon, Finnegan, Price - you get the picture. Big powerful college lefty who could make an impact this season for a team. Look for the Illini in Omaha too as they have a great shot to make the College World Series.

its too bad Jay hasn't been given a chance to start like Dillon Tate was. Hopefully an MLB team will though!

Ryan Zimmerman - 1/1 Card
I tried graphing at Wrigley for the first time. I'm a White Sox fan so i'll mostly be hitting up the visitors when I go. I got there around 4 hours before first pitch and just missed Bryce Harper by 5 minutes I guess. The only player that signed for me was Ryan Zimmerman, on a 2015 Topps. I got there late and only saw 6-8 players but would consider the day a success for my first time graphing outside a MLB stadium. Will try to hit up the Royals on the weekend.

Bobby Hull Appearance - OFFICIAL
Bobby Hull - 1/1 8x10
Chicago Blackhawks legend Bobby Hull made an appearance at a Sports Authority in Oak Lawn, Illinois. I got 1 8x10 signed with "HOF 1983" and "The Golden Jet" inscriptions. Hull's been doing a lot of paid signings lately, so it was nice to save a few bucks and get him for free.

Ryan Dempster - 3/3 8x10 Photos, 2/2 Cards
I got to meet former Cubs and WS Champ Ryan Dempster at an appearance at a local bank in Glenview, Illinois. He signed 3/3 8x10s and 2/2 cards, adding "2013 WS Champs" to the 2 Red Sox photos. Really great guy overall and even tried to make small talk with everyone.

Ron Kittle - 3/3 Cards, 1/0 5.5x8.5 Photos
Packed day at U.S. Cellular Field for Father's Day. Former White Sox Ron Kittle was signing outside the park, and got him on 3/3 cards and he threw in a 5.5x8.5 photo that they were handing out. Inside the park, the Stanley Cup made an appearance and a few Blackhawks players were also in attendance to celebrate the 2015 Stanley Cup Champions.

Shoot me a PM if you're willing to trade a Tyler Jay card or two. Would love to add one to my Twins collection!

I've had great luck with nicasio in sd, grandal is a different story, I've always had more luck getting dodgers in San Diego earlier in the home stand though!!
