Yesterday I took the day off to meet up with Tim (DMBfan) to enjoy a noon game. Once we got there and the gates opened up, we made our way to the visiting team dugout and I saw Chris Bootcheck who played for the Bulls last year. He was talking with a Bulls player and when he finished I asked him to sign a few cards and he didn't mind at all. Some of the players started coming out and most ignored the 4 of us there. I did manage to get Brad Eldred and Phil Nevin pre-game in between the steady rain before Leon The Jerk Durham told us to leave as it was to close to the game.... there was still about 10 minutes to go.
For the first 30-45 mins, rain came and went which made it a little miserable but eventually the rain stopped and we enjoyed the rest of the game. Tim had to leave early so I stayed and did post game a little. Turned out ok.
Picked up the following post game:
Andrew Oliver 1/2
Felix Patterson 4/4 (was shocked on this one)
Jacod turner 1/3
Jeff Frazier 4/4
Audy Ciricio 1/1 signed a photo with his brother Pedro who plays for Pawtucket
Colin Balester totally stiffed me. Was the only one asking post game, said he would sign once he loaded his stuff on the bus. Never came back!
Pre game
Phil Nevin 2/2
Chris Bootcheck 3/3 (gave one to Tim)
Brad Eldred 2/2 believe he got called up after the game
Decided to swing by the Bulls to see who was left and picked up
Brandon Allen 2/2 super nice guy
Stephen Vogt 2/2 (1 is for a 50/50)
Jeff Salazar 1/1 for another trader
Henry Wrigley 1/1, signed his program photo and complained, I need some cards! I completely agree as he has been killing it since he got bumped up to AAA.
