A Diddle and Family IP for 2024

[adiddle]

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

All in all a very good day for me on a very miserable weather day.

Now to wait for the first game for me.

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.

Like the thread and replying so I can follow your progress.

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.

Sometimes you cant beat the fire place and following along with the game - good stuff - enjoy following along with the successes

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.
