I met Ron Clark on March 9, 2016 at Bright House Networks Field during a Spring Training game. Ron was there as part of the Philadelphia Phillies alumni. Ron signed my Seattle Pilots card.

Keith Hernandez



I met Keith Hernandez outside of a hotel in St. Petersburg, FL when the Mets came to play the Tampa Bay Rays, August 8, 2015. I originally had asked Keith for an autograph when he arrived that night after the game. He told me he'd come back after he dropped off his things in his room. I felt he was just brushing me off... A couple hours later he was sitting at the hotel bar, on the patio close by to where I had originally saw him. I didn't want to bother him again, so I kept my distance. However, a light rain began to fall, so I went closer for shelter. After a few minutes of standing quietly, Keith turned around after he saw a bolt of lightning. He saw my son and I and said, "Hey! Aren't you the guys that asked me for an autograph earlier?" I acknowledged, "Yes sir, I am." He told me to come over. But I was hesitant as to not draw attention to the hotel employees as I was not a guest at the hotel. I said, "That's alright, I'll wait until you're finished." Keith insisted I come over, by saying, "No it's fine, come on over, I'll sign for you guys!" Keith signed my 8x10 picture and then posed for a picture as well! My son got the same picture signed!

Lucas Duda

I met Lucas Duda outside of Tradition Field in St. Lucie, FL on January 29, 2016. My son, my brother, Dan and were getting ready to leave after a morning of collecting autographs during the Mets Fantasy Camp. I decided to drive to the other side of the ballpark just to see if any players were working out or leaving. We figured all the players would have left already, but wanted to be sure before heading home. Good thing, too! As we drove up, I spotted Lucas just sitting in his car. He was great! He signed an 8x10 picture for me. A card for my brother and posed for a picture with my son! Lucas signed the same picture for my son.

Alex Cobb

I met Alex Cobb on February 21, 2015 at the Tampa Bay Rays Fan Fest at Tropicana Field. Alex signed this awesome 8x10 picture.

Charlie Manuel

I met Charlie Manuel on March 14, 2015 outside of Bright House Networks Field after a Spring Training game in Clearwater, FL. Charlie signed an 8x10 picture.
