Binghamton,
NY — My first outing of the season was definitely a disappointing
one. Everything started
off fine when I was let in to the stadium early to get autographs.
Then it started to rain
and none of the players came out. It let up, and I was able to get
Aaron Hee on my team sheets
during his pre-game run. After that only the starting lineup
came out. I was able to
get former Mets pitcher Bob Ojeda on a card, and Craig Brazell,
and David Bacani on cards.
I then got Marvin Seale, Jeff Duncan, and another player who
just got called up.
It was easy to get these guys because the stands are so close to the
field. However; Ronald Acuna,
and Matt Watson refused to signed, avoided the fans.
Marvin Seale and David Bacani
were cool. Seemed like a hassle for Brazell because he
sighed when I asked him.
I got these Seven guys and then it started to rain, and I went to
my seat.
There was no one of getting
the Rock Cats because the Mets took so long to get out on
the field. After the game
it was raining and impossible to get autographs. Not a good
outing at all.

Burlington,
VT -- I founded the Valley Cats today which included Jamie Merchant
a pitcher
who I played against many
times in my career. It was a good day. I got 27 successes and
only had trouble with one
player who was annoyed because I asked for this autorgaph
again by mistake. Scott
Robsinson noticed it and told me he was a nice guy and signed
for me and talked a little
bit. They team didn't have their manager and were missing some
players but it was still
a great success to get.

Burlington,
VT -- After
the Tri-City outing this was a major disappointment. One major
reason
was the Scrappers had been 1-hit the previous night and they were going
to be
swept
by the last place expos. Most players avoided signing and snuck behind
other
players
who were signing. Unlike Tri-City the Scrappers never went back into the
locker
room
after infield, so it was hard to get them. I was successful in getting
14 players and
their
coach former A's player Jim Kubiak. Also another major problem was that
many of
the
players were wearing incorrect numbers and the roster was completely wrong.
A
couple times I called a player the wrong name because of this. Not a good
thing. The
night
ended with rain so I was unable to get the team after the game.

Burlington,
VT -- Another great outing! This team was very good about signing.
Some of
them even stopped when they
noticed I was overwhelmed with people signing and waited
their turn. It was awesome.
Robert Ellis who is going to be a great pitcher down the road
signed for me after he ate
dinner next to the dugout while the team changed into their
game uniforms. These Guys
were Awesome! I got 24 players, and 2 coaches. I missed 5
players but that was due
tot he fact that the were behind schedule getting on the field
other than that. Great Night!
After I got Hudson Valley
I went and talked to Clint Everts the #1 prospect in the Expos
orginization. Not only was
this kid a great signer but he was awesome person. Talked to
about 5 hounds for about
5 minutes about different things. Great signer...Look for him
in the future.

Burlington,
VT -- As far as hounding goes this was by
far the best hounding outing I have
ever
had in my life. I was able to get every player and coach that they had.
I got almost all
the
players on the first night but went back the next night to get the remainding
players.
Two
of their coaches were former players Bill Mommboquette and Randy Ready.
Ready
was
awesome as he signed nicely and was awesome to talk to. All the Oneonta
players
were
easy to talk to and didn't feel rushed at any point. Prior to the first
game a young
pitcher
named Aneil Baldwin was warming up. He was trying out a new pitch and almost
took
my face off. After he finished throwing he came over and talked to me for
about five
mins
and signed for people. Then today he talked to us again and was just an
all around
good
guy. The whole team was awesome but I talked to a few who included Robert
Huddleston,
Kelly Hunt, John McGorty, Kenon Ronz. These guys actaully lined up to sign
and
even signed when they were heading to the bathroom. Great team and autographs.
Many
people also commented on how nice the whole team was to the younger fans.
I look
forward
to seeing many of these guys in the major leagues one day.
