Congrats! Bradenton is one of the better parks to get autographs in since you have access down the lines.

You are right on the mark about the ease to interact with the players compared to what I deal with on the east coast. The other advantage of the Bradenton ballpark is that the beer was $1.50 cheaper than RDS in Jupiter ;-) and the parking was only $5 (at the church) plus I got a ride in the golf cart the 1 1/2 blocks to the entrance! I also went by the minor league ballpark and was pleasantly surprised walking around with all players - very cool & free parking.

I agree with the both of you. Each time I have come to Spring Training, Bradenton is one place I always stop. The ushers are friendly, the ease of access to players, the cheaper tickets, etc.
