Mitch Akins
Duane Below
Logan Darnell
Alex Gouin
Lucas Irvine
Ryan Kelly

Scott McGregor
Kyler Newby
Hassan Pena

I got the following on cards

Tyler Bortnick 5/7 ??? only had 2 others to complete thought that was odd 3 EL 2 flautographs
Logan Darnell 5/5 3 EL 1 flautographs
Zach Lutz 12/12 told him he did not have to do at once since I will be back tomorrow but he banged them out 9/9 EL 1/1 flautographs
Scott McGregor 1/1 EL
Alfredo Rodriguez 2/2 1 EL

For me it was a nice day and not to much more to complete
By my count I have the following for tomorrow on the team sheet and a few cards unless something comes in the mail today that I am still expecting.
Sometimes when you have so few it becomes a frustrating day trying to track them down but we will see

Jeremy Bleich
Tyler Cloyd
David Kubiak
Aaron Laffey
Bryan LaHair


Tried to pick up a couple of foul balls during practice but they were using new ball and asked for them back.

Good stuff to start the year! Ours is this saturday on Long Island. I take it Sands is good about signing, and Cloyd not so much?

I do not know about Cloyd as I did not get him yet but when I did ask Sans he said he needs to stretch first and then he came right back to me.
Remember its ST and beside the season ticket holders that are there watching the sessions I was the only one graphing so everything is a little lighter

Good luck on you day Saturday. I see you have Noland and I need him in my Orioles book and a few cards. Hope he is not taken before they make the trip to us end of April like Hill was 2 years ago.

Well here we go off to another season and hope we both make a good splash this year

Thanks for the info! I will keep you updated on how Reimold his. I hope he doesnt get taken before the BBQ, as he is a big want of mine for my 2013 Topps and Heritage collections.

I think this might be the first year I was able to complete all my items before the start of the season
Also good to see graphing friends pete27 and Jordan

Team sheet
David Kubiak
Aaron Laffey
Jeremy Bleich
Tyler Cloyd
Brian LaHair he was sick yesterday so that's why I did not see him

On cards

Brian LaHair 4/4 2 flautographs
Tyler Bortnick 2/2


Also was able to get my hands on a 20th Anniversary league ball during BP as the balls also have the red and blue threads on them.

Up next is a Monday practice game with York and need just about everyone so I hope they are nice and accessible.

[adiddle]

Today was most likely my last day for the Patriots spring training. They had a practice game with York and did pretty well. Would have done better but they had players that stayed back mostly pitchers. Its always nice doing ST as the players are so much more accessible and friendly.
Pete27 was there before me and helped on a few players as they were not wearing uniforms just practice jerseys
Here is what I got

All the cards are for EL
Mark Mason 1/1
Enohel Polanco 1/1
Paul Fletcher 1/1
Luis Alen 1/1
Michael Burgess 1/1
Chris Cody 2/2
Jose Constanza 2/2
Ryan Dent 2/2
Julio Depaula 1/1
Angel Franco 2/2
Victor Mateo 1/1
Jared Mitchell 2/2
Bryan Pounds 1/1
Isaias Tejeda 1/1
Luke Westphal 3/3
Travis Witherspoon 1/1

The following did not ride with the team and if they did most likely would have been completed

If I do not make it back first game is this Friday vs Lancaster and rain is projected.

Jose Arredondo visa issues again
Michael Click
Frank Gailey
Tyrelle Harris

[adiddle]

First game of the season vs Lancaster which was won by a walk off home run by Somerset in the 9th. It was a pitchers game mostly up to that point.
Since it was cold everybody was covered and I did just as well post game as I did pre game partially because graphing time was lost because they had to introduce both teams
Here is what I was able to get
Lancaster pregame
Bryan Evans 2/2 1 EL starting pitcher
Blake Gailen 1/1 EL
K C HObson 2/4 both EL
Lastings Milledge 6/6 5 for EL
Kevin Munson 6/9 all EL
Tommy Shirley 1/1 EL
Elih Villanueva 1/1

Post Game Lancaster

Jeff Kobernus 2/2 1 for EL
Rommie Lewis 1/1 EL

Somerset

Mitch Atkins 1/1 EL
Darren Ford 4/4 2 EL 1 arfmax
Bryan Lahair 2/2 1 arfmax

Double header tomorrow hope to knock all the small stuff tomorrow as Lancaster does not return until end of August

[adiddle]

Todays was a double header vs Lancaster but did not stay for the second game
Rain did not help as everything was running a little late and when the tarp came off only had 15 minutes of graphing. I had 30 minutes between games and did my balance then and then went home as even though I was dressed pretty warm my teeth starting to clatter.
Pregame Lancaster

Josh Bell 1/1 tigsfan
KC Hobson 2/2 both EL
Garrett Weber 1/1 EL

Between games
Lancaster

Lastings Milledge 3/3 all tigsfan
Nate Reed 1/1 EL

Somerset
Jerry Sands 3/3 all tigsfan

Did not see Brad Bergesen either days and now will not see Lancaster until end of August as that is the next time they come back to Somerset

Next game Long Island Tuesday 4/25 weather permitting. Its the only game of the 3 game series I can make
