Minor League Question

[jaaaysun]

Does anyone know how difficult it would be to get an autograph at a minor league game? I'm thinking about going to see the Clearwater Threshers tomorrow, hoping that I can get Pedro Martinez. Also, any idea who else I should try to get

I know it is much easier... But getting pedro will be on everyones mind at the game... so keep that mind... I would go for....

Drew Naylor - was on the australian 2009 WBC Team
Joel Naughton - was on the australian 2009 WBC Team


For Charlotte I would get these....

Jake McGee - On the 40 man roster
Brian Shouse - a solid MLB side arm reliever....
Shawn Riggans - Next Catcher to be called up behind Dionar Niavarro


This is what I would get if u cant get pedro....

Well the game was rained out in the 2nd. Of course Pedro didn't sign for anyone...not even the kids. He didn't even acknowledge the fans. Makes me dislike him even more. I did get Dominc Brown from the Threshers though. Apparently he has been rumored to be part of the Halladay trade.

Yea I hear Pedro is like that... Am happy at least you got someone... My buddy is at the phillies/Dbacks game tonight... He said he got me a Utley ball.... Since I watched his house he said he owed me... LOL

When I was at the MLB all star fanfest earlier this month, I ran into a ton of autograph seekers while waiting hours upon hours each day for autographs. When talking to these autograph hunters, every single one of them received in person autographs at minor league games. These guys I talked to all had binders full of minor league cards where it was alphabetically sorted by player and easily accessible within a minute or two of flipping.

An example would be on the Sunday fanfest before the futures game, a few minor leaguers were guests of a radio show at the ESPN booth, where there were also autograph signings for HOFers happening at the same time. Well as all these autograph seekers know, they assumed these minor leaguers who were purely there for the radio show would sign a few autographs afterwards. Low and behold, they did sign for a few minutes. A couple notables were Jemile Weeks, Brett Wallace, and Chris Tillman. Of course, the autograph hunters already had each of their baseball cards ready to get signed.

Point of all this is, if you want in person autographs, attend minor league games and spring training games.
