[Good Men wear Black and White]

The Hints and secrets about getting aoutgraphs in person at games can be great to use, here we can talk about What autographs we have gotten signed in person, were you got them, and if theres a place they frequently sign at the games...

[Good Men wear Black and White]

I recently came back from the Phillies S.T. in clearwater FL. and receved the flowing singatures...


Aaron Rowand (2)
Mike Schmit
Pat Burrel
Eude Brito
Alex S. Gonzalez
Shane Victorino
Ryan Madson
Geoff Geary

and about 10 other prospects whos name i coulnt catch

Luke Scott (Astros)

I was able to get autographs about 15 minuts befor the game betwen 3rd base and Left field, (have a sheet with names for Prospects so you can yell out names) and you can try signing inbetween innings along the side of the field when the players leave the stadium. Also at the end of the game they aslo sign at the same place at the begining of the game. somethimes a few players will do batting practice afterwards and they might sign then too.

I get my sigs at public appearances

I have autographed balls of 5 Nationals players that I got in person at appearances in the area away from the park. Brad Wilkerson signed a ball for me at a store appearance, and a February Nationals fanfest at a sports bar resulted in getting signed balls from Ryan Zimmerman, Jose Guillen, Brian Schneider, and Brandon Watson. I prefer public appearances to the stadium. At the stadium there are too many people who are competing with you for a guy's autograph, and if there is someone who tries to give a player multiple items to sign, or if a scuffle breaks out in a group, the player will stop signing, and you are out of luck.

I was wondering if there was a good site on public aperinces for signings... that be great if you could post one of Private Message one

The Wilkerson appearance was advertised on sports talk radio here in Washington and the fanfest appearance was advertised through the Nationals website. But, this website might be of interest:

Great site. I don't know if they currently do it, but when I joined a little over a year ago, (there is a fee for the deluxe site) I was able to receive a free autograph 8X10 of my choosing. I picked Monte Irvin.

Spring training

I just got back from Tucson last night, and I saw three white sox spring training games while I was down there. I got 35 different autographs too. Mostly all of them I recieved by the parking lots as they exited. But one of the coolest things was that Scott Podsednik was actually on my plane back to Chicago! I talked to him briefly, and had him sign a ball. He was staying in Tucson a little longer, so he could get some extra work in. Anyways, heres a list of all the autographs I got at st. Ask me if you'd like to see pictures of anything.

A scuffle? I've been collecting for almost 20 years and haven't seen a scuffle yet. An argument here and there, but that's about it. I will agree, though, that going to functions like you mentioned is a better way for getting autographs. The sig is usually better, and there's more of an opportunity for Q&A and for a photo with the player.

My pet peeve are the people who try to get a bunch of things signed at the game. My rule of thumb is that during ST, I usually had a player two cards. If he signs both, fine. If not, it's no biggie. When the regular season starts, though, I hand the player one card. They have much less time and it sucks when a player has signed 3 or 4 for one person, then leaves without signing yours.

autographs are for KIDS.nothing SICKENS me worse than an ADULT hawking the front roll for autographs with a bunch of memerobilia that you know hes trying to peddle on e bay.Give the kids autographs..ADULTS find a REAL JOB.

[Captain Cold Nose]

What if you're an autograph collector, just get one signature, and keep it?

Dude that is sweet... Glad that worked out for you. Did that one parking lot near that practice field & purple building work? I was probably out there the same time you were one of those days.

I'm pretty sure I was standing by that purple building, the one with the tall blue fence, and that's where I got nearly all of my autographs. But I got mine after or during the game, when the players would start to leave.
