8/19/09: Buffalo Bisons vs Syracuse Chiefs

Final game between these two teams, so I tried to shore up my remaining. Did well except Ricky Bones decided ignore everyone. Weird. Not bad otherwise. Was able to kill off my extra Mike Lamb's that I thought I wouldn't be able to get, since he usually didn't sign after games.

8/18/09: Buffalo Bisons vs Syracuse Chiefs

This is the final two game series between Syracuse and Buffalo (NY Mets AAA affiliate). Didn't bother staying for the game, just got autos pregame and after. Was very happy to finally get Jon Switzer on my dual jersey card of him and Mike Gosling. When I received the card, both players were to be in Syracuse within the next month. First Gosling got traded, then called up. Then Switzer was called up. A bit frustrating to say the least!

8/15/09: Rochester Red Wings vs Syracuse Chiefs

Last game of the year between these two teams. It was a great finish for the team, with little left over. I even lucked out and got Jose Lugo in my book, when we didn't expect him to be around. It was also Wall of Fame night. It sucked, as Rick Leach no showed, however Geno Petralli and Jon Ratliff showed. Ratliff was in the stands a bit, while Petralli never made it to the stands, instead being in the Chiefs dugout. After the game ended, I spotted him and was able to get him to come sign from the field. Was a great spot by me!
