autographs, signings, and tips, part 1

[mattsr0625]

im not sure how to get to the players lot.

[billyhallfan]

ok, Matt, I tried to write it in there, it is where the black X is, the players don't walk by you, you have to call them over, and don't jump the railing, you'll get in trouble. They do walk near the railing to get in, but not right up against it, next time you're at Miller, just look, it is where all of the "nice" cars are, you'll see some hummers and BMW's, you'll know, plus there will be other people there waiting to get autographs too.

 

Here is a map...

Last year we saw some old beat up red car in the lot, it looked like an old gremlin or old metro or something like that. Little and a hatchback, we decided it was Turnbow's.

Wanted everyone to know that Molly's signing in GB has been cancelled. Talking to the manager, he mentioned a while back that Molly and him were waiting for Molly's minor league schedule to come out so he would know what days he had available. Looks like they could not get a day for Molly to come up. The manager said that he would try again.

I just got an email from Jeff's and over 50% of the Bill Hall tickets are sold out for this coming Saturday.

[BrewCrewForever]

Looking forward to the big Hall signing tomorrow. Can't wait. Hope picture opportunities are available.

[billyhallfan]

BrewCrew, when are you planning on getting there, maybe I'll see you?

I would have thought the same as well, but we saw him at the Pancake Pantry last year, and I think he was driving a Range Rover, or some high end SUV. I, for some reason, picture Matt Wise driving a beater, not sure why.

[billyhallfan]

How did everyone do so far, there were autograph fridays, Hall signing, McGee signing, and Ted Simmons signing, this is what I got, anyone else?

 

J.J. Hardy signed ball

Bill Hall signed ball

Bill Hall signed bat

Ted simmons signed ball

 

 

Lots of fun this weekend...

Signed 8x10 pic of Hall for me! He was a such a cool guy. Liked the fact that he drove himself to Jeff's. I figured like most he would have showed up in a stretch limo. He's a man of the people. "The People's Champ"?

When is the next free signing in the Fan zone at MP?

[BrewCrewForever]

J.J. Hardy signed ball

Bill Hall signed ball

Bill Hall signed bat

Ted simmons signed ball

 

Im jealous of all of those but since I have an auto from Hardy and Hall probably most jealous of Simmons. How was Ted? Where was that again?

[bigjase]

I got Hardy on my Brewers mini helmet, which now has Weeks, Fielder, Hardy, and Hart.

[billyhallfan]

it was at Waukesha Sportscards, there wasn't a very good crowd, but he was pretty nice, very expensive signing though.

[cweber39]

bhf-

 

how was the Bill Hall signning at Jeff's? I couldn't make it so I had to drop an item off earlier in the week.

[jason21nl]

not to damper the Hall signing, but he signed a ton before the game..If you have something very nice to get signed, id probably go to a signing because you know you're going to get a good sig...other wise, these guys sign all the time for free..

A couple more who come to mind are Stu Barnes and Kris Draper. Both are character guys whose scoring line will not dazzle you, but both fill a role for their team.

Right, but some of us can't get to those free signings because of work or other obligations

[jason21nl]

understandable..

 

I'm just saying, that I have a hard time paying for a guy that I can get for free just about any day of the week......

 

but you're right, for the people that can't do that..its cool that they do the signings.

[cweber39]

No I and totally understand what you are saying, and I wish I could get down there early enough. I am going to try on a couple days, but how early do you have to get there for a Autograph Friday or a regular home game during the week?

[jason21nl]

for autograph friday, you have to get in line about 30 min before they open the gates..so you're first in line..you literally have to run to get in line for players like Hall. they open the gates 1.5 hrs before game time i believe. to get autos before the game, you have to get there really early..Id say around 12-1 pm for a game at 7.....you have to be a trooper to go to the stadium that early..

[BrewCrewForever]

bhf how much was Simmons again?

[billyhallfan]

way too much, I shouldn't have went, it was $45 for a ball, but his stuff is worth a lot, and he was really nice, I don't have pictures of that because I went there really quickly before the Hall signing, and then I do have some pictures of Williamhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif if anyone wants to see them. I didn't get to the Hall signing until about 11:20, but my numbers were 154 and 155, so that worked out ok.

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah $45 is a lot. But it is Simmons. A guys who should be a HOF.
