My 2009 IP autographing thread

[jeter3000]

I am new to this forum, and just wanted to say HELLO to everyone on the board. This looks like a great site and i look foward to contributing to it. I am a big IP grapher and i live in Northern, NJ. I mostly graph the Newark Bears Atlantic league baseball team. I went to a lot of Bears games this season and i was able to get many, many autographs. Anyway, here is my most recent success:

Aug 13, 2009
Newark Bears at Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium

This was their last home game of the regular season and the last legends sunday of the season. As a part of this "special" event they had all the Newark Bears signing on the concourse behind home plate for about an hour. I went through the line twice and all the players seemed to be in a good mood! My totals for the day...

Tim Raines- 1/3 cards (wasn't in a great mood today)
Ron Karkovice- 5/5 cards (didn't sign as many as usual)
Mike Torrez- 1/1 cards (was able to get him by the dugout)
Doc Gooden- 1/1 OMLB, 1/1 cards (signed for everyone who wanted him)
Rob Mackowiak- 6/6 cards (was in a great mood)
Luis Nieblas- 2/2 cards
Carl Everett- 8/8 cards (was showing off his cards to other players)
Charlton Jimerson- 7/7 cards (was in a pretty good mood)
Juan Tejeda- 2/2 cards
