Luis Gonzalez

 I met Luis Gonzalez as he was leaving Campbell Park in St. Petersburg, Florida on Tuesday afternoon, July 19, 2022. Luis was coaching a youth baseball camp hosted by Perfect Game. Luis signed a 1992 Fleer Ultra baseball card. My 11 year old son told Luis that he loved watching him hit the bloop single to walk off the 2001 World Series. I added, "I remember when you did that and I was actually alive when you did it, too!" So glad to finally have met Luis and have the opportunity to add his autograph into my collection!

Jorge Lopez

 My son and I met Jorge Lopez after the Orioles beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-4 on July 16, 2022. As we were exiting the  ballpark at Tropicana Field, I spotted a group of people standing outside of Gate 7. Some were wearing Orioles jerseys with the name Lopez on the back. I assumed it was probably family members of the Orioles pitcher, Jorge. My son and I decided to wait. About 5 minutes later, he exited out of Gate 7 as well! We approached him after a few minutes of hugging and chit-chatting with his crew. We asked him for an autograph and he was more than willing! He looked at the 2016 Bowman rookie card and said, "Whoa! Back in the day!". He signed the cards and handed them back and thanked us! I replied, "So many players don't like signing for their fans anymore. Thank you for taking the time out for us!" One of the ladies in his group overheard  and gave an, 'Awwww'.  Very happy to add Jorge into my collection.

Robinson Chirinos

 I met Robinson Chirinos as he was exiting the visiting clubhouse at Tropicana Field on Saturday, July 16, 2022. Robinson's Baltimore Orioles just came off an 11th inning 6-4 win against the Tampa Bay Rays. As he was walking out to leave the ballpark, he signed this 2018 Topps baseball card. My son already has a card signed by Robinson, so it was nice to finally catch up to add him into my collection as well!

Isaac Paredes

Isaac Parades signed this 2018 Topps Heritage baseball card for me from his Jeep as he was leaving Tropicana Field following a Tampa Bay Rays loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday, June 28, 2022. I was glad to finally get this card signed as I missed him when he was playing for the Lakeland Flying Tigers in the Florida State League. 
 

Taylor Walls

 On Tuesday, June 7, 2022 I went to Tropicana Field to watch the Tampa Bay Rays play the St. Louis Cardinals. I wasn't having the greatest time at getting any autographs. My son, brother and myself were trying to get autographs prior to the game near the Cardinals dugout. Pitching coach Mike Maddux walked by and I called out his name. He gave a quick glance and a wave, but did not come by to sign. My son called over Harrison Bader and he came to sign for a large group. He signed a card for my son and brother but skipped over me. The big name stars such as Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina and Nolan Arenado didn't come any where close to us. The game eventually started and we found our seats. The game was tied at 1 in the 9th inning and my son says to me, he's never seen a walk off home run. I told him you never know what might happen. The game was tied at 2 in the bottom of the 10th inning. Taylor Walls was at the plate and down to his last strike with runners on. Taylor hit hard line drive down the right field line, which I was certain would be called foul, until it hit the giant yellow foul pole for a walk off home run! After the game, the three of us made our way over to the players parking lot, hoping for one last shot at Harrison Bader, Molina, Pujols... Really anybody at the point. The big names ignored us, as expected, until we saw the man of the hour, Taylor Walls. Taylor pulled out of the Rays parking lot in his over sized pickup truck and pulled off to the side just past where we were standing. A man told him that he had his home run ball and wanted to give it to him. After they finished talking, Taylor was kind enough to sign a card for my son and I. Taylor signed a 2017 Bowman Chrome baseball card for each of us! More would have been nice, but I was 100% satisfied!
