I attended the Tribe On Tour event at Summit Mall in Akron, OH again this year. I received autographs from everyone scheduled to attend which was great. The event was this afternoon, I received signatures of the following on a 2011 Indians team ball I am working on:
Jason Donald
Jason Kipnis
Shelley Duncan
Jack Hannahan
Josh Tomlin
Vinnie Pestano
Josh Judy (at a different signing in Akron)
The ball already had Manny Acta and Carlos Santana's signatures on it, so I have a great start on the project. One panel is already full, I should have space for at least 7-8 more autographs. I'll probably hold out for public signings to fill the rest of the ball - I'd like to finish it with bigger names, e.g. Cabrera, Choo, Jimenez, Perez, Sizemore, Hafner etc.
I also had Len Barker sign 3 items and Joe Charboneau 2. They both signed a 2012 pocket schedule as well as a small Indians pennant and I had Barker sign the ball from last year's event. That ball now has:
Manny Acta
Matt LaPorta
Shin-Soo Choo
Tony Sipp
Joe Charboneau (80 ROY inscription)
Len Barker (P.G. 5-15-81 inscription)
Had I planned ahead, I would've had Charboneau, Hargrove and Barker sign a separate ball so I could have 12 signatures on the 2011 Tribe team ball instead of 9. Oh well, it gives me an excuse to go to more events, signings and games. Thanks for the read!
