8/13/08: Brooklyn Cyclones vs Auburn Doubledays

Not too bad of a day to grab some autographs. Brooklyn is the Short Season Single A affiliate of the New York Mets and had two first round draft picks from this year's draft. Unfortunately, I was only able to get one of the two, as Reese Havens was decently accessible, while Ike Davis wasn't. Surprisingly, I had heard the opposite, with Davis being a supposed much better signer than Havens. Of course, as we learn, it all depends on the day and luck to get guys. I only tried pregame, with the exception of getting one guy from the stands after the game. I was happy to see one of the few pitchers to come down to the dugout for the game was Steven Clyne, who was the only player I needed to get from my book.
