I did the Hagerstown Suns workout day and got a few of the new Suns,most notably Taylor Jordan and Jason Martinson,who signed their NY/Penn top prospect cards and Martinson added his Bowman and Topps debut as well.
Former player and Davey Johnson signed two as well,Johnson is always such a class act.
I haven't really done the Suns other than that so far as the team is tough to get close to with Harpermania runnin' wild!
A pretty good day on Wednesday with the Lakewood Blue Claws as I got all the team that was there.
Notables included Zach Collier (finally his SAL after two years of injuries),Domingo Santana,Jesse Biddle and Bryan Morgado.
A very nice team and I was impressed that they were all kind in taking the time to take pictures with a family of Phillies fans after the game.....
Two trips to Frederick hit the Myrtle Beach Pelicans and their new parent club in Texas along with the Salem Red Sox.
The Pelicans were pretty good with notables being third baseman Michael Olt,pitcher Robbie Ross and first round pick Barrett Loux,who has yet to have a card,but signed a blank for me.
The main miss was outfielder Jared Bolden,who said he had to stretch,but an otherwise successful evening...
Salem was what it usually is for Red Sox appearances-busy.
I didnt get everyone,but I did get some.Kendall Volz was super nice in signing three cards and chatting a bit.
Derrick Gibson and Zach Gentile were as good as last year and signed whatever you had as was Shannon Wilkerson,who was injured last season in Greenville's visit to Hagerstown.
Kolbrin Vitek signed two for everyone and has a distinctive capital V for his signature.
Time for some thanks....
To Tom O'Brien for his getting Drew Storen to sign four missing cards for me.
And to Mark Bailey for his HUGE help with the Devils this season!
Mark did an amazing job landing Zach Parise,Ilya Kovalchuk,Patrik Elias,Larry Robinson,Travis Zajac,David Clarkson and so many more from the team.
Mark also was able to get former Devils captain and rumored candidate for the Devils head coaching job Kirk Muller for me.
Thanks again very much for your help,Mark.......
