4/22/09: Lehigh Valley Ironpigs vs Syracuse Chiefs

Decided to go to the Syracuse side before this game, as I needed Jason Donald and Rod Nichols from Lehigh Valley and I was blown off by both before the game the night before. Of course, they both signed before the game, frustrating me. We were able to get a few before the game, though. Rehabbing Willie Harris signed, as well as Lastings Milledge who signed TWO for me (without help). That was shocking. He refused to sign after the game, however, since many of the 50 or so fans who showed up for this raining game had booed him. Ouch.

I also lucked out and since it was so dead, I got two foul balls.

Also, there was major drama, as Carlos Carrasco (very nice the night before) suddenly would not sign for anyone. It was caused by one of the autograph people, who apparently wanted to screw everyone over, while making himself look helpful. He made security bring him in from charting and then the guy wouldn't even look at anyone after the game. What a difference less than 24 hours makes.
