It was great to have two good signing prospects, such as Desmond Jennings and Jeremy Hellickson. Shockingly, even Angel Chavez signed, and he rarely ever signs. Overall, a great series.

I tend to make this a must see matchup, since we never see any other San Francisco affiliates. We ended up going for batting practice and the game, so I was able to get a few Binghamton guys, too.. Also, yet again Kurt Manwaring showed up, as a rover for San Fran.

It was nice because we had rehabbing Carlos Guillen there. He was alright at times, kinda miserable at other times. However, it was easy to get him when he was distracted trying to impress women lol. Overall, not bad for a team that has been tough at times. Max Scherzer was a miserable jerk after the first day.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cards:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Toledo</span><br />Robinzon Diaz - 1<br />Brent Dlugach - 2 (plus 1 extra)<br />Leon Durham (Hitting Coach) - 1<br />Alfredo Figaro - 2<br />Carlos Guillen - 4<br />Will Rhymes - 1 (plus 1 extra)<br />Max Scherzer - 1<br />Daniel Schlereth - 1<br />Scott Sizemore - 1<br />Ryan Strieby - 1<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Syracuse</span><br />Leonard Davis - 2<br />Luis Ordaz - 1 (plus 1 extra)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Cards This Series: 18, Overall: 198</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-805771686924396220?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-88957718654302440532011-03-30T21:33:00.000-07:002011-03-30T22:15:00.395-07:00After the awful Gwinnett series, it was nice to have this Norfolk (AAA affiliate of Baltimore Orioles) series. It was especially helpful to have a morning game. It was also helped out that so many were obsessed with Stephen Strasburg, that I was able to have much more room with the away team. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cards:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Norfolk</span><br />Robert Andino - 5 (plus 4 extra)<br />Jake Arrieta - 4 (plus 2 extra)<br />Michael Aubrey - 1 (plus 1 extra)<br />Josh Bell - 1<br />Adam Donachie - 1<br />Brandon Erbe - 1<br />Joey Gathright - 9<br />Richie Hebner (Manager) - 1<br />Scott Moore - 2 (plus 2 extra)<br />Corey Patterson - 3 (Including 1 GU card)<br />Troy Patton - 4<br />Jeff Salazar - 1 (plus 3 extra)<br />Chris Tillman - 1<br />Pedro Viola - 1<br />Ross Wolf (1 extra)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Syracuse</span><br />Matt Chico - 7 (plus 1 extra)<br />Jesse English - 1<br />Chuck James - 4<br />Mike Morse - 4<br />Ron Villone - 2 (plus 1 extra)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Cards This Series - 53, Overall - 180</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-8895771865430244053?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-51173803700594064882011-03-30T21:23:00.000-07:002011-03-30T21:29:25.412-07:00This was an awful series between Syracuse and the AAA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves (Gwinnett Braves).

This time against the Scranton-Wilkes Barre Yankees (AAA affiliate of the New York Yankees).

So this was our first matchup with Lehigh Valley (Triple A affiliate of Philadelphia). The coolest part of the series was the nearly empty game, where Kevin Mench was in the store signing. He asked to take one of my cards (of course a numbered card I liked and had only one of..), but then he signed the rest of what I had, which was cool.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cards:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Lehigh Valley</span><br />Brian Bocock - 2<br />Brandon Duckworth - 1<br />Chris Duffy - 3<br />Scott Mathieson - 6<br />Cody Ransom - 2<br />Joe Savery - 1<br />Wilson Valdez - 3<br />DeWayne Wise - 2 (1 extra)<br />Mike Zagurski - 2 (2 extra)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Syracuse</span><br />Roger Bernadina - 1<br />Seth Bynum - 1<br />Devin Ivany - 1<br />Marvin Lowrance - 2<br />Carlos Maldonado - 2<br />Kevin Mench - 8 (Including 1 game used)<br />Doug Slaten - 6 (1 extra)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Cards This Series: 43, Overall: 43</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-7258238788457673700?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-63670858731048631652010-11-19T01:45:00.000-08:002010-11-19T01:49:30.040-08:00This was the last game of the season. I didn't need squat from Rochester, so I tried to get some Syracuse guys, from the set we were just given that night. Unfortunately, I didn't get much done.

The last game, I had to show up midway through, which was awful. Thanks work!... It wasn't a bad year, set my new high (oh so tough to do when this is only my 2nd full year since getting back into autographs lol). Overall.. there were a lot of high and lowlights. I wish I had gotten out to Binghamton more often, as well as going to the golf tourney in Cooperstown. I think I will have to invest some money and time and head out there next year. I'll make a post after this just putting up my total stats involving the cards and books, for an easier lookup next year.

Didn't get too much on the logo sheet, got a couple things signed so it wasn't too bad.

Of course, the fair weathers love the fact that Francisco Cervelli and Ramiro Pena were there, at least for the first game. The shitty thing about the date of this series, is that Sept callups occur on Sept 1st, and the Yankees are the type of team that says fuck it, lets call up whoever we want..we got the money. Lines down the whole 1st base side, made this shitty. They had security on the field *rolleyes* and even Yankees player Mike Dunn and I had a laugh about them being up the players' asses. AAA ballplayers shouldn't be treated like $20 million dollar men. But I digress. PS - Cervelli blew everyone off, Ramiro Pena was a douche, as was Ivan Nova. Over three months later, I can remember this..if that shows how douchey they were. On the contrast, Jason Hirsh was hilarious.<br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>SWB</em><br />Jason Hirsh (2006)<br />Kevin Whelan (2006, 2008)<br />Mike Dunn (2008, 2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><em>SWB</em><br />Shelley Duncan - 1<br />Jason Hirsh - 3<br />John Rodriguez - 1<br />Josh Towers - 1<br />Butch Wynegar (Coach) - 1<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards This Series - 7, Overall - 715</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-8457644140066618425?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-51271690210848763422010-01-16T22:41:00.000-08:002010-01-16T22:45:05.035-08:00We had gone to the State Fair, in hopes of watching Shinedown's free show. Needless to say, when it poured most of the day, we gave up. Ended up watching the last game of the Chiefs/Leigh Valley doubleheader. But while we were there, just so ended up that there was a WWE autograph signing. It was free, brought to us by Time Warner. So I said, why not? WWE personalities Jimmy Hart and Hacksaw Jim Duggan were there. Talk about bringing back childhood memories from when I actually used to watch this stuff lol. Ended up running into a guy I knew who gave me a Jimmy Hart card, which was cool. They also handed out photos of an empty ring, which both signed for me. <br /><br /><br />Cards:<br /><br />Jimmy Hart - 1<br /><br />Other:<br /><br />Photo of wresting right, signed by Jim Duggan and Jimmy Hart<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-5127169021084876342?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-88870550418404135112010-01-16T22:23:00.000-08:002010-01-16T22:56:50.017-08:00As you can tell, I slacked off about 5 months, so now I get to makeshift very quickly.

It was a great show, and you were able to meet Frank after the show. Was able to get in line quickly and get a picture with him, along with him signing my ticket stub.

How sad is it that two weeks before the end of the season, the Syracuse Chiefs play Durham (Triple A affiliate for Tampa Bay) for the ONLY time this year. This four game series was interesting. Rob Ducey (scout) was there, as well as a rehabbing Akinori Iwamura! I was able to kill off a lot for this game one. It rained during game two, and I left it early. They weren't bad, except for Fernando Perez, who is a douchebag. Thanks for ruining my pen, dick. Also, game two (Saturday 8/23) was autograph night for the Chiefs. I was able to kill off my remainder with them, even with the rain, since they signed in the concourse.<br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Durham</em><br />Jeremy Hellickson (2006, 2008, 2009)<br />Andy Sonnanstine (2006)<br />Shawn Riggans (2006)<br />Desmond Jennings (2008, 2009)<br />Wade Davis (2009)<br />John Jaso (2009)<br />Fernando Perez (2009)<br />Reid Brignac (2009)<br /><br /><em>Syracuse</em><br />Luis Atilano (2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Durham</em><br />Xavier Hernandez (Pitching Coach) - 3<br />Akinori Iwamura - 11<br />Reid Brignac - 2<br />Elliot Johnson - 3<br />Fernando Perez - 1<br />Desmond Jennings - 3<br />Ray Olmedo - 1<br />Jeremy Hellickson - 1<br />Joe Nelson - 3<br />Matt Joyce - 2<br />Shawn Riggans - 6<br />Andy Sonnanstine - 5<br /><br /><em>Syracuse</em><br />Ross Detwiler - 1<br />Kory Casto - 1<br />Shairon Martis - 2<br /><br /><em>Other</em><br />Rob Ducey - 5<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards This Series - 50, Overall - 699</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-8473245658989737212?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-13267163479854334862009-11-24T01:28:00.000-08:002009-11-24T01:57:16.103-08:00Final game between these two teams, so I tried to shore up my remaining.

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.

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.

At least today, one of the rehabbers actually stopped. Nate Robertson was alright. Bonderman told us no, Willis snuck out again. Oh well. They killed my rehab streak, but at least I got something out of one of em. What sucked was that the main dealer of the group was able to get Bonderman from the vehicle. It's so annoying that they will tell real fans no, but the dealer with balls to go up to the window gets the auto. <br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Toledo</em><br />Wilkin Ramirez (2008)<br />Scott Sizemore (2008, 2009)<br />Jeff Larish (2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Toledo</em><br />Leon Durham (Coach) - 2<br />Don Kelly - 3<br />Nate Robertson - 3<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 8, Overall - 615</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-1552313098012185218?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-41617708852337952322009-10-16T00:44:00.000-07:002009-10-16T00:51:54.592-07:00Only time we see Toledo (Triple A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers), and the great schedule maker allows only 3 days for 4 games. This means that today's game is a scheduled doubleheader. What a rip off. Rehabbing with Toledo: Jeremy Bonderman, Nate Robertson, Dontrelle Willis. They snubbed or hid today.

This time we got to see Vermont (Short Season A affiliate of Washington). They have more prospects than Syracuse, sadly...which at least means good things for the future of the franchise, I'd think.

Not a whole lot left to get, but I had decided I would try to get Van Benschoten. Yeah, swift move. I yelled his name three times while he was in the dugout. We assumed the first two times, since there was no reaction, that he could not hear due to the loud soundsystem in the stadium. Well, we realized we were wrong when he screams "WHAT" after my third call. Yup, still a prick. Surprisingly, however, after the game, someone got him to sign, so I was able to get my book. Well, he wasn't able to fit in the hotel van (weird on the final game of the series that they didn't have a bus to leave in), which helped me as someone else asked him to sign on his trip out for the second arrival of the van, and he signed what I had left. Yeah, the autograph means little to me except that I finally conquered the jerk. Also, we lucked out to realize that Justin Cassel, whom had been called up to Charlotte a few days before, was actually charting in the stands. We figured he'd be like most and just show up at their next stop. <br /><br />I had hoped to get one more Elijah Dukes, as he was called up mid-game, but I was unable to get to him. Also, I missed an Aaron Poreda card, as by the time I heard he was traded, the hotel van was at the gates picking him and the others up, whom were traded. Bummer, but oh well.<br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Charlotte</em><br />John Van Benschoten (2006)<br />Tyler Flowers (2008, 2009)<br />Justin Cassel (2008)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Charlotte</em><br />Daryle Ward - 2<br />John Van Benschoten - 3<br />Chris Chambliss (Manager) - 1<br /><br /><em>Syracuse</em><br />Ian Desmond - 1<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 7, Overall - 550</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-4895222088671841454?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-21718156603889931142009-08-17T00:10:00.000-07:002009-08-17T00:20:02.364-07:00I waited for Charlotte pregame, while going to the Syracuse side afterwards. I was annoyed to find out that my old favorite (see early season 2008 post for sarcasm) John Van Benschoten had actually signed and did whole pages. Instead, I was able to finally get some Ross Detwiler cards. Oh darn. Add that sarcasm in again. By the time I made it to Charlotte side, I was also blown off by Tyler Flowers. I lucked out to get a couple pitchers right after the game from their side, though..on their way in from the bullpen after the completion of the game.<br /><br />Books:<br /><br />Charlotte<br />Jon Link (2009)<br />Jhonny Nunez (2008, 2009)<br /><br />Cards:<br /><br />Charlotte<br />Wilson Betemit - 4<br />Chris Chambliss (Manager) - 2<br /><br />Syracuse<br />Elijah Dukes - 1<br />Ross Detwiler - 3<br />Horacio Ramirez - 1<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 11, Overall - 543</em></strong><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br /><strong>Index Cards:</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><em>Syracuse</em><br />Yunior Novoa<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-2171815660388993114?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-68112228100553428972009-08-17T00:04:00.000-07:002009-08-17T00:17:58.604-07:00Awful day, full of rain. The only reason I really showed up was because Frank Howard was signing autographs. He was the 1960 National League Rookie of the Year, and led the American League in home runs for two seasons. Of course, as is the case with most Syracuse promotions, it was total chaos. I was, however, able to grab him before the assinine 1/2 hour before the game that they made him leave to throw a first pitch. Relatively stupid, but that's Syracuse management. Unfortunately, we also found out today that Corey Patterson took his release. A nice guy, he will be missed around the ballpark!<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Charlotte</em><br />Norris Hopper - 2<br />Chris Chambliss (Manager) - 2<br />Brent Lillibridge - 1<br /><br /><em>Syracuse</em><br />Elijah Dukes - 1<br /><br /><em>Misc</em><br />Frank Howard - 2<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 8, Overall - 532</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-6811222810055342897?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-65815901841323707662009-08-16T23:49:00.000-07:002009-08-17T00:17:40.113-07:00This starts the first of a four game series between Syracuse and Charlotte (Chicago White Sox's Triple A affiliate). For this game, six NBA player were signing autographs. This was due to Syracuse University hosting SportscasterU, a program for these players to learn to work in the media, for when their careers were over. Not bad, as many didn't know about it, so I was able to get everything signed (thanks to Dave Ryan telling me to keep going thru the line!) We also got a printed sheet of paper with the pictures of all 6 guys on it, which I got signed too. Pretty good day, especially since pitching coach Richard Dotson was one of the nicer coaches I've met.<br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Charlotte</em><br />Adam Russell (2006, 2008, 2009)<br />Josh Kroeger (2006)<br />Lucas Harrell (2008)<br />Aaron Poreda (2008, 2009)<br />Ehren Wassermann (2008)<br />Carlos Torres (2009)<br />Cole Armstrong (2009)<br />Brent Lillibridge (2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><em>Charlotte</em><br />Keith Ginter - 1<br />Michael Restovich - 2<br />Kelvin Jimenez - 1<br />Chris Chambliss (Manager) - 1<br />Norris Hopper - 3<br />Wilson Betemit - 2<br />Richard Dotson (Pitching Coach) - 9<br />Derek Rodriguez - 1<br />Ehren Wassermann - 1<br />Gary Ward (Hitting Coach) - 1<br />Daryle Ward - 2<br /><br /><strong><em>Baseball Cards Today - 24, Overall - 524</em></strong><br /><br /><br /><strong>NBA Cards:</strong><br />Donyell Marshall - 3<br />Anthony Parker - 1<br />Tony Battie - 3<br />Brevin Knight - 4<br /><br /><strong><em>Overall NBA Cards - 11</em></strong><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br /><strong>NBA Signed Player Sheet</strong><br />Anthony Parker<br />Brevin Knight<br />Donyell Marshall<br />Malik Rose<br />Mike James<br />Tony Battie<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-6581590184132370766?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-53012607237209592152009-08-16T22:43:00.000-07:002009-08-16T22:49:57.117-07:00Final game of the series. I went as far as to get a few index cards signed of some of the nice Cincinnati prospects, just because I had so little I needed signed. I did, however, get my 500th different card signed for the year. That honor goes to Kip Wells. And it took some persuading. I had one card left and I asked him to sign it since I figured I wouldn't ever see him here again. His response was either a diss to Louisville or Syracuse, as he said. "I hope not either, at least not with this team." Ouch. At least he was nice to me, felt better than the way he acted when he played here! Also, Devon White was here again doing his job for the Nationals.<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Louisville</em><br />Corky Miller - 2<br />Ted Power (Pitching Coach) - 1<br />Kip Wells - 4 (Including 500th different autographed card of season!)<br /><br /><em>Misc</em><br />Devon White - 2 (Washington Nationals Rover)<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 9, Overall - 500</em></strong><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>Index Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Louisville<br /></em>Drew Stubbs<br />Chris Valaika<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-5301260723720959215?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-21375621289306402192009-08-16T22:37:00.000-07:002009-08-16T22:43:25.335-07:00Another iffy day. Didn't get a whole lot of anything done, but I didn't have much either. Killed off the rest of my books, which was great. The really cool thing is that I got Drew Sutton. Sutton had been sent down when the series began. He just showed up this day and by the next game was called up. So he was only there for one whole game, so it was a nice signature to get!<br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Louisville</em><br />Danny Dorn (2008, 2009)<br />Ramon Ramirez (2009)<br />Drew Sutton (2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Louisville</em><br />Kip Wells - 3<br />Ted Power (Pitching Coach) - 2<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 5, Overall - 491</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-2137562128930640219?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-65605630274263956192009-08-16T22:32:00.000-07:002009-08-16T22:37:45.290-07:00An awful weather day. Just as the game ended, the rain decided to come. Luckily, since the security cronies weren't around, the few of us around were able to stay undercover, which was also extremely helpful on killing off the majority of Louisville items I needed. I was even able to get to the Syracuse side before Dukes and Patterson left, which was even better!

We start off with the Louisville Bats (Triple A affiliate for the Cincinnati Reds). Pregame wasn't too great, but I was able to get some in my books from Louisville. Since none of the regulars who might have known the Bats were there, I decided to go for Syracuse after the game. Not too bad, but overall it wasn't a great first day.<br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Louisville</em><br />Wes Bankston (2006)<br />Chris Valaika (2008, 2009)<br />Drew Stubbs (2008, 2009)<br />Chris Heisey (2009)<br /><br /><em>Syracuse</em><br />Ross Detwiler (2008, 2009)<br />Ian Desmond (2006, 2008, 2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Syracuse</em><br />Elijah Dukes - 1<br />Corey Patterson - 1<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today -2, Overall - 472</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-1277786643051157937?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-50888316818566195192009-08-16T22:00:00.000-07:002009-08-16T22:13:28.190-07:00On a whim, we went to the game between Auburn and Williamsport (Short Season A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies).

I love it there. As I've noted before, you can kill off so much during BP, it's insane. I had to make sure I made it to see Connecticut (Eastern League AA affiliate of the San Francisco Giants). They were so great that I finished every single thing except one Baumgarner card, which I didn't both trying to get the rest of the day. What a great group of prospects. Baumgarner is only 19 and looks like he will be an ace sooner rather than later. He was really nice, too. I got some of Binghamton (Mets AA affiliate), but they always seem tough for me. I lucked out that Kirt Manwaring, the Giants' spring training catcher instructor/east coach type rover, not only showed up, but was the first one there before BP. Then, their coach was the 2nd to show up..not arriving on the bus because he was visiting with family. Definitely helped production, since I had a lot of them and we had them alone!<br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Connecticut</em><br />Tim Alderson (2008, 2009)<br />Madison Baumgarner (2008, 2009)<br />Mike McBryde (2008, 2009)<br />Henry Sosa (2008, 2009)<br />Jackson Williams (2008, 2009)<br />Dan Griffin (2006)<br />Brent Pill (2008)<br />Waldis Joaquin (2006, 2008, 2009)<br /><br /><em>Binghamton</em><br />Emmanuel Garcia (2006, 2008)<br />Michael Antonini (2008, 2009)<br />Josh Thole (2009)<br />Ike Davis (2009)<br />Mike Nickeas (2006)<br />Brad Holt (2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Connecticut</em><br />Steve Decker (Manager) - 10<br />Kirt Manwaring (Roving Instructor) - 4<br />Henry Sosa - 3<br />Madison Baumgarner - 2<br />Ross Grimsley (Pitching Coach) - 1<br />Jackson Williams - 2<br /><br /><em>Binghamton</em><br />Ike Davis - 1<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today: 23 , Overall: 464</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-2138604601980798482?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-32927993424149609442009-08-02T00:43:00.000-07:002009-08-02T01:03:42.911-07:00Another freebie night, so I figured I'd go out during the long stretch of no Syracuse games. This was Detroit's NY-Penn League affiliate. Unfortunately, I found 4 more cards of the hitting coach after the game, so I only got the one I had with me. Nice group of guys. Luckily grabbed the guy I needed in my book in the stands, as he was charting.

Due to the lack of position players that I needed from Rochester, I ended up going for Syracuse before and after the game. Things went decent. I was also able to get Humber on a card for the first time, since he was charting again. Got ignored by scout and ex-major leaguer Dave Hollins. Also fun to see Mike Morse consistently avoiding the fans, while having Mike Vento pick him up at the office doors.

A totally different team than the beginning of the season. Overall, not a bad team pregame, but they were iffy after the game, like most teams have been. Was able to get my Humber, as he was charting. He's actually at least a little bit more accessable than last year, but still not very personable. Also, Devon White was in the stands (apparently he was there the two games before, however I had to work).

I killed off a bit pregame, thanks to pitchers coming off the field late on the Lehigh Valley side. I then saw Elijah Dukes signing on the Syracuse side and just lucked out to be the last person he signed for. I waited late and was happy to get most of my Kyle Kendrick cards signed.

Not a whole lot to really go for, though a few guys were new, like Miguel Cairo. Gustavo Chacin, was as "pleasant" as normal, but at least he picked up a pen for once. I lucked out at Shairon Martis was put in the souvenir store to sign autographs..his first day in Syracuse.<br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Lehigh Valley</em><br />Lou Marson (2008, 2009)<br />Steven Register (2008)<br /><br /><em>Syracuse</em><br />Shairon Martis (2008, 2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><em>Lehigh Valley</em><br />Gustavo Chacin - 2<br />Carlos Carrasco - 1<br />Miguel Cairo - 1<br />Terry Tiffee - 2<br />Mike Spidale - 1<br />Jake Woods - 2<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today = 9, Overall = 398</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-1483796931073879060?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-4480752184689030672009-07-07T01:10:00.000-07:002009-07-07T01:43:04.952-07:00Since it was a freebie night and there wasn't much to do, we decided to take our first trip to Auburn this year. I needed a few guys on each team, so I figured why not. State College (Pittsburgh's New York/Penn League affiliate) was facing Auburn (Toronto's affiliate). I decided to go for the logo sheet again this year, as well as my Auburn player profile program insert. So basically, the same plan as last year. Not too bad, as I got everyone I needed except one guy got called up that morning, that I needed in my book. I was happy to get one of Pittsburgh's 1st round picks from this year (49th pick in sandwich part of the round) Victor Black.

Didn't stay for the game at all the day before, leaving after pregame autographs and coming back at the end, this time I stayed a few innings and came back in the final inning. Luckily found out the one Yankee I wanted (Sergio Mitre) was in the stands, along with Bob Boone again. So I basically went for the Chiefs before and after the game. Syracuse was boarding their bus after the game to travel right away, so they were pretty easy to get afterwards. Plus Scott Olsen was still around, though he was to be called up to start soon in a series, so it was clutch to get the rest of mine done. Also got Jason Bergmann, who has been up and down so much, you never know if and when the last time will be. I was also happy to get Corey Patterson to sign both of my game used cards that I received the day he was recalled.<br /><br /><strong>Cards:<br /></strong><br /><em>Scranton/WB<br /></em>Sergio Mitre - 2<br /><br /><br /><em>Syracuse</em><br />Corey Patterson - 2 (Both Game Used Cards!)<br />Logan Kensing - 1<br />Kory Casto - 1<br />Collin Balester - 1<br />Gustavo Molina - 1<br />Darnell Coles (Coach) - 2<br />Scott Olsen - 2<br />Pete Orr - 1<br />Jason Bergmann - 2<br /><br /><em>Misc</em><br />Bob Boone - 1<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today = 16, Overall = 388</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-4683487196253774030?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-41220243582296241482009-07-07T00:35:00.000-07:002009-07-07T00:44:20.262-07:00The second series for the Yankees against the Chiefs. This one was scheduled for two games, and I figure the first series was our best shot at guys. Xavier Nady rehabbed for Scranton, however, got re-injured and is out for the season. This was his only game he played. Luckily, even though he injured his signing elbow, he did sign after the game. I will assume he did this knowing that his season (and possibly next season) is over. Besides that, things weren't too bad for the first series after schools let out. I gotta figure the last series (in Sept) will be pure hell. One positive is that I only needed one person in my books and finished him quickly. Also, a huge shocker that Kevin Cash signed all 4 of my cards. Every other experience he has blown me off and all of the regulars were shocked because he will only do 1 per usually. <br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Scranton/WB</em><br />Colin Curtis (2008)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><em>Scranton/WB</em><br />Xavier Nady - 2<br />Chris Stewart - 1<br />Kei Igawa - 1<br />Justin Leone - 1<br />Kevin Cash - 4<br />John Rodriguez - 1<br /><br /><em>Syracuse</em><br />Ryan Langerhans - 1<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 11, Overall - 372</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-4122024358229624148?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-55868093543478076092009-07-05T01:07:00.001-07:002009-07-05T01:13:58.782-07:00Finale of the home series against Columbus. More of the same, although, the team was a bit nicer on the last day. I was finally able to score my Matt LaPorta, but I missed Michael Brantley actually signing a few autographs, which sucks. In the stands again was Mitch Webster scouting (I was given a few more of him), as well as Bob Boone, who has a higher position with the Washington Nationals and is a former player and manager in the majors. It's nice to be able to snag random people in the stands!<br /><br /><strong>Ticket Stub:</strong><br /><br />Wes Hodges - Columbus<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Columbus</em><br />Masahide Kobayashi - 1<br />Rob Mackowiak - 3<br />Chuck Lofgren - 2<br />Matt LaPorta - 1<br />Andy Marte - 2<br /><br /><em>Misc</em><br />Bob Boone (Nationals Front Office/ex-major leaguer) - 3<br />Mitch Webster (Scout/ ex-major leaguer) - 3<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 15, Overall - 361</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-5586809354347807609?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-32674017309213616272009-07-05T00:56:00.000-07:002009-07-05T01:05:57.518-07:00After a rainout on Saturday, Syracuse and Columbus played a doubleheader today. Syracuse University basketball coach, Jim Boeheim, was signing autographs today. I was able to get him on a magazine cover and an old team photo I had (previously signed by John Wallace). The team was a bit better today, but big prospect Matt LaPorta was signing few and far between, still leaving me with none. Was successful with my books aside from LaPorta and Michael Brantley, whom would not even acknowledge people besides when his family showed up today. One positive was that early in the doubleheader we realized that there was an ex-major leaguer scouting. Everyone scattered to get their cards of him (Mitch Webster). Luckily, I was given a few extras. <br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Columbus</em><br />Chuck Lofgren (2006, 2008)<br />Tony Sipp (2006, 2008, 2009)<br />Masahide Kobayashi (2008)<br />Wes Hodges (2008, 2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Columbus</em><br />George Lombard - 2<br />Scott Radinsky (Pitching Coach) - 2<br />Andy Marte - 4<br />Rob Mackowiak - 2<br />Masahide Kobayashi - 1<br /><br /><em>Misc</em><br />Mitch Webster (Scout) - 2<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 13, Overall - 346</em></strong><br /><br /><br /><strong>Misc:</strong><br />Jim Boeheim Magazine Cover - 1<br />Jim Boeheim on Team Photo - 1<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-3267401730921361627?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-88639486475714616472009-07-05T00:50:00.000-07:002009-07-05T00:56:23.357-07:00First game of the lone series against Columbus (Triple A affiliate for the Cleveland Indians). Pregame wasn't bad, however postgame was a joke. Columbus literally walked out 15 men strong when the hotel van showed up. It was a total joke, and most of them were rude as hell. At least I killed off some before the game, or else I would have been close to shut out.<br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Columbus</em><br />Mickey Hall (2006)<br />Frank Herrmann (2008)<br />Jon Meloan (2009)<br />Jordan Brown (2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Columbus</em><br />Michael Aubrey - 1<br />Zach Jackson - 1<br />Jack Cassel - 1<br />Torey Lovullo (Manager) - 2<br />Jonathan Nunnally (Coach) - 1<br />Tony Graffanino - 3<br />Ken Ray - 1<br />Vinnie Chulk - 3<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 13, Overall - 333</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-8863948647571461647?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-3324818993829650252009-06-23T02:41:00.000-07:002009-06-23T02:46:19.023-07:00Awful decision making on this day. Before the game I was only able to get Mike Lamb and Adam Bostick. After the game, I went to the Syracuse side in hopes of getting a few extra Scott Olsens I found. Well, I missed out on Wily Mo Pena signed down the line, doing near everything that everyone had. Instead, I got snubbed by Olsen.

As I walked in, I noticed that no one was waiting on the Buffalo side. I then looked over and noticed most of Syracuse pitchers were still on the field, so everyone was on that side. Only got 2 guys, but at least it was a good start. Buffalo now has Lance Broadway (all-prick team). He, of course, acted the same jerk way as usual. The thing that makes me happy is that the guys who are the real pieces of work have been putting up awful numbers and probably will never make it to the majors full time. Buffalo has a lot of kinda washed up vets, but at least majority at least signed one. <br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Syracuse Chiefs</em><br />Cory Doyne (2006)<br /><br /><em>Buffalo Bisons</em><br />Pat Misch (2006, 2008)<br />Tobi Stoner (2009)<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Syracuse Chiefs</em><br />Cory Doyne - 1<br />Wilfredo Ledezma - 1<br /><br /><em>Buffalo Bisons</em><br />Mike Lamb - 4<br />Ricky Bones (Pitching Coach) - 7 <strong>(Including 300th signed of year)</strong><br />Jonathon Niese - 1<br />Ken Oberkfell (Manager) - 1<br />Kyle Snyder - 1<br />Pat Misch - 1<br />Emil Brown - 1<br />Wily Mo Pena - 1<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 19, Overall - 312</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-1133731226020362286?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-10828124792333019852009-06-23T02:11:00.000-07:002009-06-23T02:14:00.495-07:00Didn't go to the game. Purchased 2 Javier Lopez cards while I was out, then went to get autographs after the game. Those were the only two cards I got signed. Period. Awful. And even better, the final game of the series is played in Cooperstown, so that was my last one.<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Pawtucket Red Sox</em><br />Javier Lopez - 2<br /><br /><strong><em>Today - 2, Overall - 293</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-1082812479233301985?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-54846295978597871422009-06-23T01:50:00.000-07:002009-06-23T02:07:15.688-07:00With round 2 of the Smoltz obsession occurring, as well as me showing up a couple minutes later than I wanted, I decided to skip Pawtucket pregame and go to the Chiefs side. It turned out to be a great decision. We noticed a guy throwing with the manager without a uniform on. I was lucky because Foli came over to sign (something he doesn't do often pregame). I ended up asking him and he told me it was Scott Olsen and that he was going to make two rehab starts with the team. I just so happened to have his cards on me, since I had all the possible rehabbers in my box, just in case. I was disappointed as he walked by me when I yelled his name and did not stop. Well, after the game started the guy I was standing next to told me that Olsen was sitting in the stands behind the bullpen. So I went over and sat in a different section to scope it out. Olsen got up less than 5 minutes later so I asked him if he'd sign. He signed everything I had, including a double I had which I got for the girlfriend. I have to say, it was quite nice to be the only one to have anything of him and I am guessing that's why I got all 10 items signed. Didn't get too much with Pawtucket after the game, but Jonathan Van Every actually signed, so that was a shock in itself.<br /><br /><strong>Books:</strong><br /><br /><em>Syracuse Chiefs</em><br />Zech Zinicola (2008)<br />Scott Olsen (2006)<br /><br /><em>Pawtucket Red Sox</em><br />Enrique Gonzalez (2006)<br /><br />Cards:<br /><br />Syracuse Chiefs<br />Scott Olsen - 8<br />Justin Maxwell - 1<br />Tim Foli (Manager) - 1<br />Darnell Coles (Batting Coach) - 1<br />Kory Casto - 1<br /><br />Pawtucket Red Sox<br />Carlos Maldonado - 1<br />Jonathan Van Every - 1<br />Javier Lopez - 1<br />Freddy Guzman - 1<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 16, Overall - 291</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-5484629597859787142?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-68228472066600464262009-06-23T01:41:00.000-07:002009-06-23T01:49:47.666-07:00A rather interesting day occurred for this scheduled doubleheader from a previous rainout. Game time was 5pm, but a bunch of us showed up as early as 11am due to the fact that John Smoltz was making a rehab start for Pawtucket in the first game. Well needless to say, Smoltz got snuck in. I was able to get a couple guys arriving at the stadium, but definitely not worth my early arrival! Well things got even more interesting as they put the tarp on the field before Smoltz even started warming up after stretching. He starts to come on due to the tarp and the expectation of rain. I was able to yell at Smoltz as he came in, and he came over to start signing! The problem is, he walked towards me, then turned a few people to the side of me. After watching him sign about 30 balls and such, he looked ready to stop. I was able to plead and out stretch about 3 people and finally he signed for me. Overall, that was an awful experience. I doubt I could do this hobby in a major league city, that's for sure. The doubleheader was cancelled about an hour later, so Smoltz (and the lovely crowd of random people) would be around for the next day.<br /><br /><strong>Cards:</strong><br /><br /><em>Syracuse Chiefs</em><br />Corey Patterson -1<br />Pete Orr - 2 (Including Topps Heritage team card)<br /><br /><em>Pawtucket Red Sox</em><br />Chris Carter - 1<br />John Smoltz - 1<br />Jeff Bailey - 1<br /><br /><strong><em>Cards Today - 6, Overall - 275</em></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4326549067944984928-6822847206660046426?l=fitchjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Autographshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068318841645300947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326549067944984928.post-31668845531231227222009-06-03T23:56:00.000-07:002009-06-04T00:02:45.861-07:00This was the last time we see Gwinnett for the season. Pretty good ending, with the only card left unsigned was an Alvin Colina, who signed for the first time that I saw this series, but with limited numbers. Interesting stuff happened following this but before I got to put this entry in. Jordan Schafer was sent down to Gwinnett, which sucked since I have a lot of him. However, Tommy Hanson was recalled, Charlie Morton was traded, and Chiefs coach Steve McCatty was signed as the pitching coach of the Washington Nationals.
