On this day, I decided that I would try get get some autographs from the Blue Jays players entrence. As soon as I arrived I seen Brad Wilkerson getting out of a taxi and I quickly took out 2 cards for him to sign.

After this, I seen David Cone get out of a taxi and I quickly got out a baseball to get signed by him.

Then at the same time, Ken Singleton walked by and I got him to sign a postcard and then I got Jason Frasor to autograph it too.

Batting Practice was a joke. The Blue Jays were not throwing many baseballs in the stands. I was lucky to get 1 baseball thrown to me by Rod Barajas tho.

After the Jays finished BP, the Yankees took the field and YES they were using commemorative baseballs. The Yankee players are so un-friendly and have some attitude. I did not get any baseballs from them and any autogaphs during BP.

I only stayed for 7 innings and then left. I decided that I would try the Yankees hotel for autographs.

When I got there and the players bus came. Derek Jeter was first off the bus, but walked straight by without even signing 1 autograph. All of the other players came off too, but would NOT sign.

Edwar Rameriz  walked out a bit later and I got him to sign a baseball. I also got Chad Moeller and Brett Gardner to sign aswell.

Stats:

1) 1 Baseball at this Game

2) 3 Autographs at Yankees Hotel

3) 5 Autographs before the Game

4) Total: 8 Autograph Day

I just posted a TTM sucess video on my YouTube channel a couple days ago. Here is the video.

Yes, that's right. I went to Comerica Park to see the Tigers play the Twins. I did not have any tickets to see this game in advance. The only reason why I decided to go was because the weather was supposed to be perfect. If the weather was going to be bad, I would have probably not even gone at all. I arrived at Comerica Park at 12:30 pm. The gates were going to open at 5:00 and I had lots of time. The first thing I did was go to the Tigers ticket office to buy tickets for the game.

Here is a photo of me infront of the Tigers Box Office.

The guy working in the Box Office gave me a whole bunch of Tiger schedules for my collection.

After I got my Tiger tickets. I decided to go and check out the Tigers Team Store.

They have a 2 floor shop with everything you could think off. I purchased a Tigers t-shirt and some other little things.

The best part about the Tiger's Store was that you could see a bit of the field from the 2nd floor. Here is what the view looked liked.

After, I finished looking in the store. I decided that I would walk around the whole stadium from the outside and take some photo's.

Here is a picture of me infront of the stadium.

I want to get in there to SNAG!!!

I also got a photo of Ford Field which is right across the street from Comerica Park.

Another cool thing about Comerica Park is that you can also see inside the stadium from Centre Field.

Here is a view to homeplate from Centre Field.

I also took a photo of the scoreboard from the outside.

Yes, there are lots of ramps at Comerica Park to get up to the Upper Deck level.

After, I walked around the whole stadium and took loads of photo's with my camera I went to get a bit to eat at a local restaurant.

When I finished eating and took a rest from walking. I went to the gate to start linning up. I had about a 35 minute wait but luckily there are many places to sit down, compared to other stadiums.

Then it was showtime! The security guards and ushers are so friendly compared to other stadium's I have been too. I got my bag quickly checked and ran inside the stadium.

I ran to deep right field. I spotted Justin Verlander and Joel Zumaya shagging baseballs out there. Then one baseball came my way and just fell short and landed on the warning track. Verlander ran over to pick it up and he picked it up and turned his back, but then turned back around and threw me my first baseball of the day. This baseball was an Official Training Baseball. I then caught another baseball on the fly for my 2nd baseball of the day. Once again this was a Official Training ball.

Then the Tigers BP ended and it was the Minnesota Twins turn to have Batting Practice.

I got my first ball of the day from the Twins thrown by Boof Bonser. Then I asked Scott Baker for a baseball that he had in his hand and he tossed me my 4th baseball of the day.

I also got Livan Hernandez to toss me my 5th baseball of the day. He remembered me from last season when I asked him for a ball.

The highlight of my day was getting Ron Gardenhire to throw me my 6th baseball of the day. I yelled out his name as he was catching ground balls in BP and got him to toss me a ball. What is it this season with me getting baseballs thrown by Major League managers?

As I walked back to RF. I was looking in the rows to see if there were any baseballs and look what happened to be sitting in one of the rows.

Look at the baseball carefully. This is not a regular Major League baseball. Here is a zoom in of it. Yes! I had finally snagged a 2006 All-Star game baseball. I have no clue on why the Tigers were using these. This baseball was sitting here all BP and know one else had seen it. I snagged my 7th baseball of the day in style!!

Here is a photo of my 8th baseball of the day. I had got this baseball infront of the Twins dugout by a coach that I could not identify.

After BP I asked Justin Morneau to autograph my baseball and he did. I also got the chance to talk with him for 10-15 minutes after BP. Here is a photo of the baseball.

I also got Denard Span to autograph my ticket stub from the game.

Here are some photo's that I took during the game. I walked around the whole stadium taking photo's.

I also stood by CF and tried to see if I would find any baseballs in the trees from batting practice.

Before leaving for home, I decided that I would go for a ride on the Baseball Ferris Wheel.

I

 Here is me on it!!!

I also got 1 collectable Comerica Park cup.

Stats:

1) 8 Baseballs at this Game

2) 2 Autographs (2008 Homerun Derby Winner: Justin Morneau)

3) 1st Collectable Cup this season

4) 1st 2006 All-Star ball of the season

5) 35 Photo Post!

I wanted to attend 1 game of the 3 game series and I choose to go to the Tuesday game.

Before heading to the stadium I received a phone call my friend Justin, who was running a special baseball camp and had an extra ticket to the game. I then told Justin, I had a ticket to the game, but then he told me that he also had a Pre-Game Field pass. Here is what the field level pass looked liked. I blured out some of the information on it because it had my name on it and other information.

When we met up he gave me a baseball camp t-shirt outside of Gate 11 and then it was time to get inside the stadium.

I did not go through any behind the scenes stuff. I only had access to stand on the field behind home plate.

I got to chat with many baseball players along with Cito Gaston. The only problem with a pre-game field pass is that you are not allowed to get autographs and get baseballs.

So I had time and I wanted to still keep my ball streak alive, so I went to RF and caught my first baseball on the fly.

I also got Guillermo Quiroz to throw me a baseball in Left Field.

By the end of Batting Practice, Jeremy Guthrie came over and signed my baseball card I had with me and he also signed my t-shirt. We chatted for 10 minutes and I found out that he is a card collector.

I also got Jeremy Guthrie to sign for all of the kids from Justin's baseball camp.

David Eckstein and Joe Inglett finished warming up before the game and I got them to come over to sign.

The Jays won 7-6 and had there first walk off win of the season!!

Stats:

1) 2 Baseballs at the Game   

 2) 2nd time this year getting autographs from Guthrie      

 3) 1st VIP Field Pass this seson

4) 1st time this season getting autographs before the game

5) 4 Autographs at this game

6) 1st Time Career T-Shirt Signed

The day before I found out that Fergie Jenkins and other celebrity's would be signing autographs at the IBL All-Star game in Toronto. I decided to go.

.

As soon as I arrived the celebrity All-Star game began. Famous people included Walter Gretzky, Jim Fanning and some retired hockey players.

As the celebrity game ended I went to the exit of the field and got Walter Gretzky to sign a ticket stub, program and he gave me a pre-printed autograph sheet of paper too.

After this Jim Fanning signed for the fans. I got him to sign 4 baseballs and 1 index card that I had brought with me.

Fergie Jenkins bought items for example hats, bobbleheads and photo's to sell for his foundation. I bought 1 bobblehead and 1 8x10 photo.

I got Fergie to sign 2 baseball cards, 1 Poster, 5 baseballs and 1 program.

I also got to talk to Fergie Jenkins and I took a photo with him.

Here are some more photo's that I took of Fergie Jenkins.

I am leaving for New York in 1 hour and I can't wait till I leave for the homerun derby tomorrow. I will be sitting in LF and I hopefully will snag a homerun baseball. Look for me on TV. My next entry will be from a game that I attend this past Tuesday night.

I went to a special event this past Saturday and got lots of autographs. I will try and have a post about that up soon, but I have been really busy this week. Here is a photo for a sneak peek.

Last Satuday I attended the Atlanta Braves vs Toronto Blue Jays game at the Rogers Centre. It was business as usual. Arrive early for batting practice and be ready for a fun filled day of baseball to the max. But this wasn't just another routine game at the ballyard. The Atlanta Braves and "Chipper Jones" were in town!

The Blue Jays finished their portion of batting practice and then the Braves took the field. All eyes were on number "10" and the Chipper Jones show was about to begin. Chipper put on a hitting clinic for the fans. He sprayed balls to all fields and ripped a few into the upper deck at the Rogers Centre. This guy is my idol!!

I got JoJo Reyes to throw me my first baseball of the day and then aksed Eddie Perez for a baseball in LF and he tossed me my 2nd ball of the day. That was it for baseballs.

Once batting practice was over, The Braves left the field except for Chipper Jones who stayed to sign autographs for his loyal fans. He didn't just sign a few autographs. Chipper Signed continuously for 30 minutes... If you do the math? One signed autograph takes 10 seconds and 6 can be done in a minute. So Chipper sent home (180) ecstatic Braves fans, including me. I have never seen a MLB player sign so many autographs during BP. Chipper is amazing!

Chipper walked towards the dugout and placed his glove on the bench. He noticed me standing behind the dugout and tossed me one of his batting gloves. Check this photo of it. Here are 4 views of it.

I would like to thank Chipper Jones for signing my baseball and giving me his batting glove. I will cherish this forever in my personal collection.

Here are some more photo's that I took:

Fans going nuts trying to get Chipper Jone's autograph.

1) 2 Baseballs ( 2 Training Baseballs)

 2) Chipper Jones game used batting glove

3) 1 Signed baseball (Chipper Jones)

4) 1st time this season getting "Official Training Baseballs"

This is a video of me and a young kid named Ryan. He is a really cool kid. He had never snagged a ball before, until I snagged him a foul ball @ a minor league baseball game. Now he is working on snagging all by himself.

We played catch in between innings and he even asked to take some photos with me as well as get my autograph. This kid is really cool and I am glad that he is a fan of mine.

We look forward to snagging together at future games at either a minor league or major league baseball game.

And might I add: the kid has s-k-i-l-l! He can really throw. I wouldn't be surprised if he is a future Major League Baseball Player!!

Stay tuned for more updates.  [this entry is also written in the desc. box of this video. Go check it out and let me know what you guy's think!]

P.S. To any haters out there that may be reading this, please don't even bother wasting my time trying to bash me. I really don't care what you think.
