Reds vs Wahoos and Rays vs Biscuits (Pictures)

Hello Benchies, I had the privilege to go to 2 AA vs MLB exhibition games this past week. One in Pensacola and one in Montgomery. They both were a lot of fun, one was really wet, and I came out with some nice sigs.

Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto (who would not give up his black marker), and Cueto all on my '08 UD setcards:

very nice lot you ended up with there. I didn't know Votto was committed to his black sharpie, he signed mine with my blue one and you are right about Homer, what was up with him?? A couple no-hitters and he is all of a sudden king of the world??

Good job man! It was fun even though it was pooring down rain.

Nice that you got Jay to sign 3...I asked him to sign a third card and he actually said "no way".

He seems really nice. I have gotten him on 2 different occasions. One time I was wearing a Fort Myers Miracle hat and he had asked me if I knew a few of the players down there. he went to college with Jarred Wilson, who was drafted by the Twins in '13.

The rainout helped me out. I got him on 2 cards when he was signing down the line and then I got him on my 3rd card when they had the team signing at the tables.

Cool stuff! Sad to hear some players were TC to sign!!

I used that strategy with Votto because my "tunnel" auto was less than I expected. No complaints really just story telling from my point of view. Did you know the guy in the hoodie sweatshirt? I see him at most BW games in the tunnels, he always knows most guys and the hot prospects.

Yes, I am pretty good pals with that guy. We met up yesterday at the Wahoos and Smokies practice. I think we will be going back down there again today.
He is really good with players faces and names, that's probably why I stick close to him

Thats cool, I've been thinking how I can get out there for these practice days but it ain't gonna happen. Do you really live in Fort Myers? That seems pretty far from P'cola. Have fun out there!!

 

[KCLJ520]

You guys have this down to a science! Cool stuff, glad the rain actually helped you guys out!

I'm currently going to college in Pensacola (UWF), but during the summer/winter I live in Fort Myers.
That would be a little too long of a drive..
