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? 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. 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. The lesser names, the easier it is. 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. How much are the autographs at Soxfest or do they sign for free? All you HAVE to pay for is your ticket to Soxfest. 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. The Tix are included with the room thou, so basically you stay at the hotel and it's all free.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually sold mine for $10 for each day for the two extras I had to make back a little of the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im in Wheaton, So like 30 min. away from Chi Town, so I dont think I whould get a room, but if me and my buddies go down, we might. Which day is usually better? Saturday is a full 8 hours, and if you get the hotel package they have a show that gets put on for a few hours with free food. Friday is only 4 hours and Sunday is only 6. Each of the days also has clinics put on by the players and coaches that go on during that time, and there are also a lot of booths and tables that sell stuff. There is plenty to do.

I have been to Picnic in the Park before, that was tons of fun, and I am going to Spring Training next year also. Time to start saving the $$$ it looks like.

The Beast Posted October 30, 2003 Author 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? i didnt get into the session last year and i still got everyones sig thanks in part to the big party Last year was the first time all of the players showed up for that. It will be interesting if they all do again, because of all of the people asking for autographs. Yea, after the first 20 mins they had the security around there table and you couldnt get anywhere near them, the trick was to catch em on there way out Guys I know of a back entrance where I snuck in...if anyone is interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 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. Koch was there on Friday.
