Chatanooga vs. Mississippi

Well wasn't able to make it out to pre-game but in the end it worked out because the game ended up starting late do to rain and no team took batting practice. Only was able to do post-game which actually worked out pretty good. It's very easy to get the visiting players as they are walking across the field under the tunnel to go back to the clubhouse.

Chatanooga:


Tyler Pelland: 6/6
Drew Anderson: 4/4 (nicest player of the night...struck up a conversation and took the time to sign each card perfectly)
Luis Bolivar: 2/2
Craig Tatum: 1/1 ( last one out of the dug
out and seemed to be in a hurry)

Missed Jay Bruce while Anderson
was signing

Mississippi:

Brandon Jones: 3/3 (thought he was never going to come out of the clubhouse out back...both times he has signed for me this year he has s
eemed to be in a grumpy mood...he's never said a word but when we say "I appreciate it" he just gives the little "mmmmmh")
Matt Harrison: 2/2 (funny story dealing with that I'll e
xplain at the end)
Matt Esquivel: 2/2 (one of the coolest guys on the team....also has a nice signature)
Carl Loadenthal: 3/3

Diory Hernandez: 1/1 (4x6)

So the Matt Harrison story....it's always nice to get autos out back cause you get to meet and talk with most of the players' families that are waiting for them. Well, a friend girl of Matt Harrison(could be his girlfriend or wife not too sure) had been drinking during the game. Charlie Morton walks out and she starts talking to him going on a rampage about Jo Jo Reyes who was recently called up to Triple A Richmond being called up before Matt and started using 4 letter words and screaming about how the team scores runs when Jo Jo pitches and not when Matt pitches and how Jo Jo is cocky about it....In the end we thought it was pretty funny mainly because this lady was completely wasted and said anything that popped in her head.

Next Game: Southern League All-Star Game
