7/19/08: Durham Bulls vs Syracuse Chiefs

Another night that went pretty well. I am still lacking a Fernando Perez in a book as well as Wade Davis in both, though. Neither of them were around pregame, and I didn't notice either as they exited. I realized Davis went by as he hopped into a car, which sucked. Other than that, only a last card or two of guys I have already gotten, so if I miss them there is no big deal. The only one I really hope to get is Joel Guzman, as the card he keeps skipping over is the Topps 52, which are the best to get signed. Manager Charlie Montoyo was fun after the game, as he was shocked to have anyone ask for him to sign. He was surprised I was not rushing Gaetti like the rest.

On a good note, pitching coach and ex-major leaguer Xavier Hernandez gave me the lineup card after the game, which was pretty sweet.
