It also gets you into a private autograph session, with a couple of the players. (last year one was MB) Are they taking reservations already?

aboz56 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 2k, how do the autograph sessions work? Easier said, do I have a good shot at leaving Chi-town with several signatures or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 2k, how do the autograph sessions work? Easier said, do I have a good shot at leaving Chi-town with several signatures or not? Each of them has a preset number of people they let into the lines. As long as you don't mind waiting in some lines, you will get about all of the autographs you want. Frank and Maggs you might have to do some waiting for, but you can get plenty of signatures. Usually players sign in two different blocks over the course of the weekend. So once you get the list, you sit down and map out your strategy of who you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good, I've already got plenty of Buehrle, got a Thomas ball on the sweetspot as well as a Borchard on the sweetspot and a Mags Mini Helmet. Guess my main targets will be Buehrle (obviously), Garland, Crede and C. Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone runs for the Maggs, Thomas lines, and then the rest kind of fill in accordingly. Save some extra money for the garage sale, as they have lots of cool one of a kind memorabilia such as used jerseys, bats, line up cards, and park flown flags.

HighHeat45 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Is EVERYONE there? Did anyone not show last year? hell no, it was only about 10-15 last year and i heard that was more than usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Is EVERYONE there? Did anyone not show last year? Not everyone goes. Frank was a last second add. Carlos hasn't gone in any of the 3 years that I have. The new people didn't go (Koch and Colon) Jose didn't go, also Damaso didn't go. The theme is the guys from out of the US usually don't show.

After that as long as you are in line, by the number of people they allow (such as 600 people for Frank) you are guarenteed an autograph.

southsider2k5 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 How much is admission, like not hotel, just to get in the doors for some Auto's? $15 for one day, or they have a limited # of $30 for the whole weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
