Fan Fest 2009

You guys may have noticed that I'm quite the Hunter Pence fangirl. But what might be more subtle is my one true love... Jeff Bagwell. He's been my favorite since childhood and while as I don't have the crush on him that I do Pence, I was ecstatic to find out that he would be present at the Fan Fest 2009 and worked out a way to be there myself at 4 am to be in line for wrist bands and vouchers.

My wrist band of glory!

My friend Nyssa was visiting from New Jersey and we and some of the other line goers were taking photos for each other. Normally I have my socks up and my Hunter Pence shirt on but this was a special day to wear my Bagwell jersey!

This is my rubber duck I was intending to have autographed.

I loved my voucher!

Super Bagwell!

Nyssa loves Bagwell too!

I'm not sure what he was listening too.

Later we went inside to wander around and we found Darin Erstad and Hunter Pence's autograph session. Darin was thirsty. Apparently signing autographs is tiring work.

The guy in line behind me was kind enough to snap photos for me since they wouldn't let me bring Nyssa in without a voucher for her. Here I've given Bagwell the art I've done of Biggio and asked if he'd be kind enough to give it to him for me since I couldn't go to his autograph session this morning. He was nice and said sure :3 <3

And here he's got my duck in his lap trying to figure out how he's going to sign it. I think he was a little more confused than Pence and I almost suggested he sign the side of the duck the way Pence did his but instead I explained that the duck had been waiting 6 years to get his autograph lol

The now autographed duck found himself up the sleeve of the Bagwell statue.

I had a blast but didn't do any art while I was there. However I did come across Isaac "Ike" Rodriguez in the home run alley working on some wonderful acrylic portraits of the players including one of Carlos Lee that I was really fond of. Check him out at Ike's Art Studio

See you guys for opening day! :D
