As was noted earlier, I took that day off from work and headed down to the Durham Bulls stadium to get the Buffalo Bisons pre and post game, while taking in the game. Despite being hot, I had a great time hanging out with Spencer. Here's the successes:
Wally Backman 2/2 on cards. I had more but he was only signing 2 per, which is fine by me. Chatted with him while he signed and he seems to be a great guy. Looking forward to seeing him in the Majors as a manager soon.
Pedro Beato 2/2 on custom photos
Brad Emaus 2/2 on custom photos
Jenrry Mejia 2/2 on custom photos
Valentino Pascucci 2/2 on custom photos. He mentioned that I didn't put his full name on the photo since I had only put "Val Pascucci" which is what I have always known him to go by. I guess that has changed and he wants to be known as Valentino.
Josh Satin 2/2 on custom photos
Elvin Ramirez 2/2 on custom photos
Fernando Cabrera 2/2 on custom photos
Matt Den Dekker 1/2 on a custom photo. Strictly one per, which is fine with me.
Josh Edgin 2/2 on custom photos. A nice guy that I was able to talk to post game before he got on the bus.
Jeurys Familia 2/2 on custom photos. When I asked him to sign, he told me no and then got a big grin on his face. Said he was only joking around and gladly signed. Very nice guy.
Michael Fisher 2/2 on custom photos. Said he had never seen the "card" before and then asked for a copy for himself, which I will be sending out today.
Matt Harvey 1/2 on custom photo. Strictly one per, which is fine with me. Asked if he had signed for me before and then willingly signed. Glad to see a former Tar Heel doing well.
Fred Lewis 1/2 on custom photo. Did not acknowledge me walking in to the stadium but did sign heading to the bus.
Lucas May 2/2 on custom photos
Oswaldo Navarro 2/2 on custom photos. He asked for a copy of the photo, which I will be sending out today for him.
Garrett Olson 2/2 on custom photos. Easily one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He signed everything for everyone. He had his hands full while walking into the stadium and he thanked me for holding his coffee for him while he signed. He has definately won me over as a fan.
Raul Reyes 2/2 on custom photos
Josh Rodriguez 2/2 on custom photos
Corey Wimberly 2/2 on custom photos
Overall, it was a great day despite the 14-10 loss by Buffalo. Manny Acosta flat out refused to sign, which was disappointing.
