My first 2 days at Astros Spring Training!
DAY 1:
Watched them play the Braves in the Wide World of Sports Complex. Got to say it has one of the better autograph setups i have seen for the visitor side. Gates opened 3 hours before game and since there is so much going on outside the stadium nobody came in to get auto's for the longest. That said Cecil Cooper, Jose Cruz, and Ed Romero stood just about 20 feet away from us and talked for about 20 minutes or so. We were the only people there but all they would do is wave at us and not sign. Later on Tommy Manzella came by and signed 2 cards for us! Then Reggie Abercrombie came by and signed one card for us.... but then security told everybody to go sit down so we did all the way up to the second deck.... and our luck about 30 minutes before the game 4 or 5 more players came out and signed!
DAY 2: was an off day for the majors so we went to minor league camp and got the following:
Mitch Einerston x2
Brad James x2
Polin Trinidad x4
Mark McLemore x4
Luis Pujols x1
Gary Redus x2
Not a bad day!
DAY 3: Went to Disneys Animal Kingdom
DAY 4: Thursday!! our final day!
