7/12/08: Lowell Spinners vs Auburn Doubledays

Since I had very little that I needed for the Syracuse/Lehigh Valley series, I decided to go to Auburn to catch the first game of their 3 game series with Lowell (Boston's short season A affiliate). Not having much for them besides 2 prospect book players, I brought a piece of photo paper with the Lowell logo on it for the players to sign. It was also military jersey night, where you could win a jersey for $1. You picked from boxes to put your raffle tickets into depending on the player you wanted. I ended up spending $7 total, one in 7 different player's boxes and won Mike McDade's jersey. Unfortuately, the jersey was soaked from sweat and even though the place he signed was dry, it somehow smeared on the way home. Yes, you got the jersey off their back and then they signed it. Not a bad thing if you have a pitcher or coach, but when you have the biggest guy on the team who had been running hard all night, it's gonna be soaked. It still looks decent, so I'm not that upset about it. Ironically, McDade was also the only Auburn player I needed a card signed for, so I got that as well. Lowell's manager Gary Disarcina was talking all of pregame and I missed him after the game, my only disappointment of the night.
