April 10: Carolina Mudcats (Brewers) vs Wilmington Blue Rocks (Royals)
It was unseasonably warm on Monday. Brewers have some decent prospects and this is their only visit for the season so I decided to go. I get there about 10 mins before the game and NO graphers which I found shocking. After the gates open, I go to the front row and watch batting practice. At that that same time a regular grapher showed up and we commented on how nobody was there. Then a couple more showed up, but still very light on a nice day. I got the one I was after:

Went up to Boston for the Cubs vs. Red Sox and Rich Altman show (first time there).
I'm starting a 2004 Red Sox World Series 16x20 autograph picture (I know, late to the party haha) so I wanted to get Derek Lowe and Kevin Youkilis. So after I buy the tickets, I decide to fill out my name for a raffle. My wife asks if she should and I said "no, only if you want to!" Well she does. So we walked around the show for about two hours and then Derek Lowe signing. Then we walk around waiting for Youkilis. We decided to go and sit in the room where the autographs were going to be. So they call the door prize, and it's my wife!!!!!! They gave her a Bill Russell (Celtics) 8x10 autograph picture!! Then we get Youkilis and leave.
We ended up going to the Sunday Night ESPN game and Lenny DiNardo was signing free autographs in the Red Sox Team Store so I grabbed a picture!
16x20:
Derek Lowe
Kevin Youkilis
8x10:
Bill Russell (Free Auto!)
5x7:
Lenny DiNardo (Free Auto)

May 9th: Potomac Nationals vs Wilmington Blue Rocks
Got there just as the gates were opening and went down to the visitors bench. They were still fielding so myself and two others waited patiently for Victor Robles (#5 prospect in baseball). I've heard he was tough to get, but I was hopefully because there was only three of us. Luckily for us, he signed before going to the locker room.
ROMLB:
Victor Robles
As a bonus, I got to talk with Keith Law for a little bit who actually lives in the area.

June 24th: Central PA Sports Card Show
Saw a card show online that feature Vince Papale, Bobby Shantz and Doug Clemens. The Papale was $25, but the Shantz or Clemens was free with a $5 admission. Decided to get Shantz, who signed an 8x10 with the 1952 AL MVP inscription. Wouldn't allow me to take a picture, but lucky to get the autograph.

Was in Boston this weekend and had tickets to Friday nights game. I never graph up there since I'm visiting and find myself doing other things. This weekend though was Red Sox Wives "Strike Out Hunger" so with a $10 donation, you can get autograph 4x6 photo of Red Sox players. Outside the gate, I purchased Betts, Benintendi, Pedroia, Kimbrel. Then inside the stadium, I saw a table with Sale and Devers so I picked them up. I normally only like in person or TTM's, but for $60 I was able to pick up some great current Red Sox!

August 30th: Down East Ducks vs Wilmington Blue Rocks
Texas didn't have any prospects I wanted, but their coach was Howard Johnson. I brought an 8x10 and 1992 Topps All-Star card. Got both signed before the start of the 2nd game of the doubleheader with about 10 other graphers. The card was for my buddy which I left in the cup holder when I ran into my family who had a corporate box. Thrilled about the get, but pissed about the card!
