Anyways, I got up early this morning to hit up the ballpark for Fanfest 2010. Now since I wasn't going for Bagwell's autograph, I didn't get up nearly as early as last year and I wasn't stranded at the park all morning through afternoon. My brother was kind enough to drive me back and forth for everything.
So who did I get?
Shelton signing my sketchbook. Honestly I don't know this kid at all but the lady in line ahead of me said he had a good spring so maybe he'll be a decent addition to the team.
"Anywhere?" "Yea, anywhere." It's not like there was anything he could obstruct.
Manzella signing the cover as well. Now him I do know from various spring training games and a couple of games in the majors last year. I always want to call him Mozerella.
Humberto Quintero who I'm actually rather fond of. He always seems happy and the poor guy gets beat up a lot but that's sort of what he gets for being a catcher. He's short and stocky and I dunno... adorable. <3
So here he's signing a little sketch I had of him. I felt bad I hadn't taken the time to dig through my backlogs of sketches in my folder here at home to find a better one of him. Oh well. I've got his autograph elsewhere too.
Now here's where we had fun. FINALLY I get Berkman to sign the BLT+P poster that's two years old now. I told him...
"Sign by yourself please." "By me? Okay." And then I, the usher, AND Quintero stare at him as he signs over Tejada (after I had even pointed to him when I set it down). And I'm like "Um, that's Tejada!" "That's Tejada?!" "Yea, you're on top." And Quintero laughs at him, "You just automatically assume she put you on the bottom of the stack?" Poor Berk seemed embarrassed and he stared at it a moment as if trying to decide if he should resign it or put an arrow or something. Oh well. It's signed either way and I got a funny story out of it to boot. <3
Astros vs Blue Jays - 04/03/10
On this page: Bourn, Pence, Quintero, Norris
The game itself was awful. But I did get some sketching in during it.
Monday is opening day so let's hope they do better. See you guys there and welcome home boys!
