A Diddle and Family IP for 2024
Forgot to post this from Wednesday 4/3
This was the Patriots season ticket holder autograph session.
It was rain or shine and it was nasty. Today was day 2 of rain with it ending tomorrow. We also had wind with gusts up to 50 MPH. At least the session moved along very quickly and except for standing in line for 18 minutes just for Spencer Jones, I completed the other players and coaches in less time than that.
Met up with my friend pete27 and it is always great to see him.
All the signatures were on my team sheet. The listing will be by positions

Last night was my first game of the season
Trying to with an attitude of do not expect any autos so I do not go home upset.
I needed a few players, mostly pitchers with the new additions.
The pitchers pretty much went back door and wore covers.
Here is who I need so far this season and did not get any one.
Chase Hampton on injured list
Jesus Liranzo on injured list
Brock Selvidge starting pitcher
Matt Givin new addition
Yorlin Calderon new addition
Elijah Dunham no change still ignores you
My only success
Brett Degagne pitching coach.
I went home after 5 innings upbeat and not pissed off at myself
One noter there was one grapher who was in attendance last night he always does 8 x 10 photos. He never knows the players and always ask people Who Is That.
Last night was Topps Tuesday and you get packs of cards. The cover card is a Topps advertisement and it had Aaron Judge on it and he thought he puled his auto which was clearly ghost signed.
Next game hopefully Thursday with Hartford.

I had everything ready for tonight's game and then I stuck my head outside and even though it stopped raining it was windy, cold 48 degrees and very raw outside. It would have been a 2 jacket weather for me and I have to admit at my age being at the game would have been very uncomfortable. Maybe 10 years ago I would have been there no issues but now no way.
So I chose the comfort of home with the fire place on and watched the game on the computer.
My next game will be the 30th against New Hampshire.

Last night game was Patriots vs the Fisher Cats.
It actually was a very pleasant night. On the Patriots side there was only 8 graphers myself and another adult and 6 kids with balls. Plus the stadium was empty maybe 2,000 tops.
It was nice to see the Patriots stopping to sign even the starters. To bad I did not need any to them.
As far as pitchers I needed Brock Selvidge, Yorlin Calderon and new pitcher Leonardo Pestana who back doored.
Here is the rest of my pre game on the team sheet
Matt Givins
Jordan Groshans did not see
Elijah Durham normal walk on by
Alexander Vargas I sign after the game. Again it was just myself and the other adult and he would not stop.
Jon Berti he signed everything but would not sign my team sheet or a signature card. He said he does not sing blanks. I understand so no problem and he was very nice about it.
Still on the injured list and I did not see in attendance
Chase Hampton
Jesus Liranzo
Peter Serruto is also listed on the development list.
I will keep trying on the above and will try to work in a post game by the end of the month.
Also upon arrival I saw a player walking to his car with a Yankee duffel bag.
When I got to the gate I was told it was Nick Burdi but no one knew why he was there.
Next game Thursday with the Cats again.

Last night was Somerset and Fisher Carts.
Nothing new to report as the pitchers back doored again and both Alexander Vargas and Jordan Groshans both denied.
But since it was NASCAR night I did not walk away empty handed
In attendance were Sage Karam and Joe Graf Jr and both were very pleasant. To bad some of that does not rub off on the players.
All signing material was provided by the drivers
Sage Karam 2 post cards
Joe Graf Jr 2 post cards
Joe Graf Jr 1 1:64 die cast Mustang he signed the outer package.
Next game would be the 14th against Portland. Not sure of my schedule that week.
But if I do attend I will bring my bag but I may not try for autographs if I still have the same list of names.
After that series Bowie comes in the week of the 24th and I will definitely be there.

Last night was Bowie vs Somerset
The tunnel was mobbed so I chose to do the third base side for warm ups.
I knew it was going to be tough for me to ID at first and it was.
What was bad was as soon as Sam Basallo came out my area blew up with about 10 graphers so it went down hill until he warmed up and signed.
As time went on I knew it was going to be a tough night when even the coaches would not stop and sign.
Also not one pitcher signed for me.
Had the usual position players who ignored you and some said later
Was looking to get Kyle Brnovich but he was the starter.
Here is who was nice enough to stop for me.
Wagner Ramirez bullpen catcher
Silas Ardoin
Sam Basallo
Frederick Bencosme
Anthony Servideo
Ryan Higgens just arrived before the game
Jud Fabian
Will be back today for the 11 AM game
Hopefully it will not be crowded except for the school kids.
Keeping my fingers crossed to do better
