What looks to be my last game of the season, we see Auburn against Mahoning Valley, who is Cleveland's Short A club. Pretty much only came for one reason. That was to get Travis Fryman, the Scrappers' head coach.
Cards:

9/1/08: S/WB Yankees vs Syracuse Chiefs
Syracuse season finale + S/WB insanity + me having to work = Showing up before the buses even get to the stadium. This was the first time I have ever done this, and I am not sure I will do it often again. Basically, since I couldn't stay after the game, I decided to take a shot at possibly getting a signature or two when the buses arrived. This was pointless as everyone on the two S/WB buses ignored the few of us there, except Kei Igawa. I got him to sign a card, but it was one I already had. Between the buses, I got a few Syracuse guys on my yearbook, but was very disappointed that Kevin Mench snubbed me not once, but twice! I went 0 for Mench this year, which blew.
The positive part came a bit later, as we saw Melky Cabrera's car show up. We were able to run down to where he was let out, and he signed for everyone. It was only 1 per, but it was great to not have to have 20 bodies pressed against me while I tried to get him.
I saw Billy Traber leaving the stadium before the game started and he snubbed me. This guy is a piece of work that should just be happy that someone would ask for his autograph after his consistant shellings while on the Yankees roster.
Inside, I went to the S/WB side (I was late as I was getting snubbed for the second time by Mench while the gates opened 20 minutes early). The only person I got to sign was David Robertson, and that was the end of my Syracuse year. I heard Hughes and Duncan didn't sign after the game, so I guess I didn't miss much by working!
