Last time I went via Firm seats, saw dumbleavy sitting about 5-8 rows in front of me....and we weren't any further than 12 back.

Sounds sweet. I have a friend sit down there last year against the Cubs and he wound up being on TV for being there trying to catch a foul ball.

FRANCHISE, any advice for me to try to get some autographs from the likes of Ichiro and/or Griffey?

They are both horrible horrible signers so I highly doubt you'll get either. But if you want to give it a chance, they might be dropped off in a cab by the dugout store to enter through the visitor's entrance.

Got Griffey's autograph in '93 at Spring Training on the sweet spot of a ball.  

Ichiro I heard is really really tough.

My dude, FRANCHISE, has scouting reports on who are good signers and how players arrive at the park.

Yeah apparently Griffey was gettable earlier in his career, but now he is near impossible.

Hey Franch got a question for you....

Where do you get your photos from? Online store? I've been looking for a home plate view panoramic picture from the All Star game at At&t from before the game. When all the teams are lined up. Want to frame a picture with the ticket stub. Can you point me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated.

Sanchez was nice

 

[dland24]

Not only was Sanchez down right filthy today, he also gave Prince Fielder another middle finger by drilling him in the elbow with a fastball. I fully expect Pablo to be drilled once or twice during the season, as well as at least one bench clearing brawl between the two teams.

Yeah I think I'm going to go. I'm thinking about starting a Giants project so these two would be a decent start.

Still cant believe we were in the middle of a pennant race last year with the worst offense in the National League, and Sabean went out and got Ryan Garkage, and that was supposed to help us.
