Andrew Pinckney 4 showed up late but got him right before I left. The guy in front on me was out of controll and put in from of him a hambuger to sign. Pinckney looked at him kinda funny and the guy realized what he had done.
Bubba Bell 4
Mark Wagner 3
Mgr Ernie Beyeler 2 I handed him two London Tigers cards (1990) and he looks at the cards and says to his wife.."Honey, its says here on the back of the card 180 lbs...that's about right, right?" She says "Right Ernie!!!!"
Justin Masterson 7 Simply awesome young man. I asked him how his folks were and if they were going to able to see him pitch much this summer. He says, "they are pretty busy, they are doing God's work.

Hitting coach Dave Joppie 4 He was very funny abd great to be around. He looks at the cards and says..."Wow, where did you get these?" I said...Out of my "Old Man" baseball card stuff"..the justs starts laughing...
I asked him to personelize on card to a friend in the hobby who is a big A's fan..he asked my about him and he does (he signs it "Go A's"...but before he signes he says "Theo signs my paycheck now, just don't tell him" he asked what I am going to do with the rest, I say "I'm going to give them to friends and then call Theo!!!!!"
Well organized, lots of people...talked with, surprisingly hobbiest my age. Saw some familair faces, saw some former friends. Took lots of photos. The theme for me was to talk to the players, ask how healthy they were, asked them what there goals in the game and how thier families were.
There has been talk of the fictional "Red SoxNation"...those rumors would have been put to rest if you were in Portland tonight.
