    LA Dodgers at Braves
    Turner Field

    We had a debate whether to attend a live Radio Show with Chipper or do the outside of Turner Field for the Dodgers and hopefully Donnie Baseball. Since we got Chipper last year, and the Dodgers only come once a year and we cannot go Saturday we went for the Dodgers.

    Pregame outside of Turner Field:
    Javy Guerra- (1/1) 2012 Topps
    Kenley Jensen- (2/2)- '10 Topps, '13 Topps

    That's all we got so this was a BAD CALL as Chipper signed at the taping. Oh well.

    Inside Batting Practice:
    Dee Gordon (1/1)- '13 Topps
    Adrian Gonzalez (1/6)- '09 Topps All Star Card in Ball Point not the greatest, Gold Glove Ball but not under the logo so we will make it a multiple player ball
    Andre Eithier, (2/4)- '13 Topps, '09 Topps
    Brandon League- '13 Topps
    Clayton Kershaw (1/1)- 8X11 Personalized to Sam
    Don Mattingly- Gold Glove Ball
    Ramiro Pena- '09 Topps
    Gerald Laird- '12 Topps
    Brian McCann- '08 Upper Deck in Black
    Dan Uggla- '12 Topps All Star

    Also seen signing but missed or had nothing for:
    Ryan Klesko
    Dale Murphy
    Ted Lilly
    Skip Schumaker
    Mke Magill




    And then after batting practice but before the first pitch: Matt Kemp- Gold Glove Ball. Mob scene as always but he is a great pregame signer and got to as many people as he could.

    All in all a monster set of results and we could not have asked for more. As I said we are skipped tonight as we have a Rec league game and then we are heading to Gwinnett for a Bobblehead night and hopefully Billy Hamilton. We are planning head out to the Ted tomorrow for one more run at the Dodgers

    LA Dodgers at Braves
    Turner Field

    Well the rains came and killed our schedule for Saturday, we missed Billy Hamilton and the Freddie Freeman Bobblehead at Gwinnett on Saturday due to Sam's Little League game getting delayed by rain. AND then we hear at the Braves Game the following Dodges signed:
    Carl Crawford
    Josh Beckett
    Hanley Ramierez
    Adam Ellis
    Dee Gordon
    Andre Eithier
    Clayton Kershaw
    Scott Schumaker

    missed that too but thought I should report it.

    We were all set to go to the Ted for player's arrival when the rains came again at 7:30 am so we waited it out at home as graphing in the rain sucks for cards. When we got there, around 9 we were told that Zach Grienke arrived at 7:30 or so and signed, as did Mark McGwire, who would only sign flats no balls. We end to get there around 8 so we would have missed them anyway, but wow.

    The only others that signed outside were:
    Kenley Jansen
    Javy Guerra

    but we were good having gotten them earlier in the series.

    Inside, it started raining again, we saw Kimbrell Signing on the other side but we had something else to do...

    Sam had a meeting for the Asian American Society. He went to Japan last year and belongs to the group, we are not Asian but that does not matter. The big deal behind the event was an appearance by Hyun Jiu Ryu. We were able to get a group photo and Kids were able to get autographs. Sam got an 8X10 signed. Guy is gigantic. He seemed a bit overwhelmed even though there were very few people there. Anyway, we waited for the rain to let up....

    The game was delayed an hour and 45 minutes with the last 45 minutes being for field prep/tarp removal. Int hat time Sam set himself up to get Kemp so we missed on the following who signed:
    Scott Schumaker
    Ramon Hernandez
    Dee Gordon
    Nick Punto
    Scott Van Slyke
    Javy Guerra

    and there may have been another

    but we got Kemp:
    2012 topps heritage (dodgers big three) with Kershaw and Ethier.
    2011 Topps Heritage (Dodger Dandies) with Eithier.

    I guess we will try to complete these next season...

    Great series for the locals as the Braves swept and there was plenty of Graphing to be had. Tonight brings on the Twins!!!!
    Now interested in Bobbleheads and Autographs.
