Anyone tried in-person autographs in San Diego?

[tribefan]

Hi All,
I'm headed to San Diego for the week and I'm going to try to catch a Dodgers game or two M-W.

Can anyone advise any tips 'n tricks for San Diego autographs?

- Is there a spot outside the park after the game where the Padres are reachable?
- Is there a spot where the visiting team catches taxis after the game?
- Does anyone know where the Dodgers stay in San Diego (this would be in the media guide if anyone has one)?
- Any other advice?

Appreciate you sharing your experiences specific to San Diego.
Thanks,


Michael

Well, I figured it out tonight. The Omni Hotel is connected to Petco Park and many of the visiting teams stay there. Tonight, signing for the Dodgers were...

Mike MacDougal
Andre Ethier
Clayton Kershaw
Juan Uribe
Eugenio Velez

Most of the players used a bridge that is protected from the general public. Still, quite a few players were willing to mix with us peons a bit.

Saw a great game, too, by Clayton Kershaw!

By the way, I tried the Pat Neshek website but I still haven't been "approved" as a member. Seems to take awhile.
Thanks for the lead!

Day two yields...

Clayton Kershaw
Rick Honeycutt (2)
Aaron Miles (2)
Rick Monday
Dee Brown
Dioner Navarro

Navarro and Brown were very fan friendly, taking pictures with anyone who asked and signed everything in sight. Very nice players!

That's it for the trip.
Cheers,


Michael
