My oldest nephew had Mike Maddux pitching camp early Saturday. Limited to 50 campers, he got about an 8 minute side session with Andy Hawkins in the visitors bullpen. Not bad. My sister in law works part-time for the Rangers so it was a nice perk to get him in a free camp. With so few participants, we actually got a few autos..
Mike Maddux 3/3
Andy Hawkins 3/3
Then I went out that night to Air Hogs/Saltdogs..Unfortunately Oberkfell limited me to 5(sorry guys, he did say send anything to the stadium next year and he'll sign it all ttm)..Dan Reichert was hilarious though. He pitched in 2011 in the Taiwan League for the 7-Eleven Lions(yes thats the name)..and told me, that the pitching coach was Japanese so there was an interpreter who would translate it to Taiwanese and then translate into English.He pretty much said he had already forgotten what they were ever talking about on the mound..He also had a funny article..(leading league in assassinations)

Ken Oberkfell 5 cards
Dan Reichert 5/5
John Harris 3/3
Ian Gac 3/3
somehow the Air Hogs made the playoffs so I may head out Thursday to get a couple of Wingnuts if time permits..
