Hey I'm over here sorting through baseball cards and I was just thinking that I'm pretty lucky to live in the Tampa Bay area because it's pretty easy for me to get autographs at the Trop, Rays Stadium. Also I'm in the middle of spring training complexes of the Phillies, Blue Jays, Yankees, Rays, Braves, and Tigers are the closes to me. I just thought about if any of you guys need something autographed this season and the team is coming into Tampa to play the Rays send me a message and we can disscuss what I can do to help you out. Also the Phillies A ball team is here in Clearwater which is right up the street from me. If I can lead my services out to you send me a message. I'd be happy to help.
Odds are I probably saw you at the Carpenter Complex this spring :)

Already discussed it on another thread. Suffice it to say, some of us Red Sox fans didn't like the way we were hassled by security, being asked THREE times to show tickets and then being threated with ejection (not me) for allegedly swearing. We figured it was the two Yuppie-like rays fans who dodn't like Red Sox fans being there. The guy who was accused of swearing was from Boston and he said that this was the first and last time he was ever coming down here. I live 10 minutes from the Trop. They won't be getting any of my business..even for non-BoSox games.
I'll watch my baseball at BrightHouse Field, thank you...

wow thats nutts. I dunno I think something had to happen cause I never have problems at the trop. Weather I'm wearing my Chipper Jones jersey or any rays stuff. I never get asked for my ticket anywhere I go in the trop. Crazy time you went. I would put money on it nothing like that would ever happen again. It has nothing to do with what you were wearing cause tons of Redsox fans come to the trop all the time. Sucks that happened to you know. Something similiar happened to me the 2nd time I went to the Trop. But it won't stop me from going hence I go to atleast two games a week when their in town.

Do you get a lot of visting player autos? I know it's hard to get the Sox to sign at Fenway, best you can hope for is 1 player per game, so do teams like the Red Sox sign more there or is it just the Rays?

I'd be interested in Upton plus a few others. I live about 10 minutes from the Rockies ST so I can trade you something if you're interested.

visiting players sign the most in the stadium... I get rays before and after the game... And yes the redsox players sign pretty well actually. last season got Josh beckett, Jon Lester, and a few others...

Not bad at all, in my several years of going to Fenway I got Papelbon, and thats it lol. Usually get a few visitors though, and of course lots at Futures at Fenway.

yea i have yet to get Papelbon I can't wait to get him. However I got the best closer ever in the game in Rivera last Thursday. I'm going to the Rays vs Orioles game Friday. Hopefully I can finish my team ball soon. I only need a few more rays to complete the team ball.

wow I had a great night tonight. Help with my team ball thats almost done and I'm running out of room. I got Carl Crawford, Cliff Floyd, Carlos Pena, Dioner Navarro, Jonny Gomes, J.P Howell, Edwin Jackson. I also got two balls signed one by Kazmir, and one by Evan Longoria. Had a great pull and finally almost done with this team ball only need Bartlett, Garza, Hinske, Iwamura, Longoria, Percival, Reyes, and Upton...only problem is I only have room for like maybe total 5 more.

How the heck do you do it? A lot of the ushers/security guys there are hardasses.

bro you just have really bad luck... I never have a problem there. The ushers and security guys there are always nice to me. I forgot to mention I also got Maddon tonight. I was right above the dugout and I was going to toss it to him and an Usher Let me down to right on the left side of the dugout to get it instead of tossing it. Sorry to hear you have problems there cause I never have.

Usually, when you try to get near the visiting dugouts, there'll be one or two jerks who give you the "you can't be here without a ticket" line and will stop you before you can get down there..and this is way before everybody is supposed to be in their seats

Bro I have to say you are the worst autograph collector if that has happened to you. Cause tons of people are down there. I always sit down there? lol you must be doing something for them to tell you that you can't go down cause there's never anybody there to tell you that you can't go down there. I don't know what to tell you. Everybody goes down there I think you must be on something lol cause they never say anything....I sit there and talk to all the security guards. I know most of them by name their all cool.
