Braves IP succeses (long read)

[deltacards]

Went to the Atlanta Braves vs the Braves Future Stars Exhibition game in Jackson at the Mississippi Braves Stadium... I had a great time and did pretty well on the autographs!.... I saw most everyone sign at one point or another but it was packed so it just depended on if you were close enough to where they signing because with so many fans trying to get autos there wasnt a whole lot of moving around or chaseing after guys.... Here's what i got

Signed Cards:
Mark Lamm 1/1
Christian Bethancourt 1/1
Garey Ingram 1/1
Aaron Holbert 1/1
Phil Goselin 1/1
Sean Gilmartin 1/1
Todd Cunningham 1/1
Ricky Alcantra 1/1
Gerald Laird 1/3
Evan Gattis 1/1
Scott Fletcher 6/6

Signed Cover of the Game Program:
Evan Gattis
Anthony Varvaro
JR Graham
Winfrin Obispo
Gerald Laird
Frank Wren
Chris Johnson

Signed Braves Hat:
Craig Kimbel
Bobby Cox

Signed Baseballs:
Christian Bethancourt (ss) - Baseball America has him as Braves #3 prospect

JR Graham (ss) - Baseball America has him as the Braves #2 prospect

Paul Maholm (side panel)

Bobby Cox (ss) - VERY excited to get him on ball!

Craig Kimbrel (ss)

Dan Uggla (side panel but still looks really good)

John Schuerholz (ss) - i think he will be in cooperstown as an executive one day. Gave a beautiful signature and seemed very happy to sign, didnt see anyone else ask hime for his auto.

Went with my wife, my parents, and my sister and her husband and kids and had a great day with the family! The major league club won 10-0 and got to see some big home runs (Evan Gattis hit won over the bullpen that went out of the stadium into the parking lot and hit a car).... Picked up several autos but was especially happy with the Cox, Kimbrel, Uggla and Schuerholz balls since i didnt have signed balls of any of them.... I did see Upton, Upton, Heyward (saw some he signed and he is giving a much nicer looking sig than what i have seen in the past) Freeman, Hudson, and Simmons all sign but wasnt close enough to get them!

Sorry for the long read, it was my first graphing in almost 2 years so i was excited!
Thanks
Nate

congrats...big fan of Gattis. a buddy of mine played hs ball with him in Forney and was there when he told his dad he was quiting baseball and not going to Texas A&M(8 yrs ago i think)..it's been a long road for him. But it's great to see El Oso Blanco make the opening day roster. Crazy story. Congrats on a very impressive haul

Thanks guys!... Gattis was a really nice guy when he was signing, seemed really happy to be with the big league club, his signature isnt the prettiest but he did sign a bunch... I had just read the story of his "wandering" years yesterday and it was pretty interesting

I was there too. Right by the dugout. Got Freeman on a ball and a card. Signature is terrible. Basically FF5 is what it is. I got Uggla on 2 cards and a ball. I got Maholm and Laird on cards and I got Gattis on a mini helmet. It was a great day other than the bad weather. Glad you did well.

Dlee: thanks! I passed on Freddie. I got him when he came thru MS on his way to the big leagues so i didnt need him and when i saw the ugly FF5 he gave my nephew i decided to pass
