Recapping My 2016 MiLB Season
Last year I did a post at the end of the 16 games I spent out at a baseball park recapping my 2015 MiLB season. With the 2016 MiLB season now over for me, I wanted to once again post an overview of the games and of the autographs I received this year. In all, I managed to make it to thirteen baseball games this season. It was a great year, full of fun, and I thought I'd take the time to recap it all:
April 19th — Salem Red Sox Vs. Carolina Mudcats
Game one of the year turned out to be a rather good one. Before the game, I was able to get Rafael Devers and Joe Oliver to sign a couple of cards, as well as Andrew Benintendi (he amazed everyone and actually signed cards — something he claimed to never do) and Angel Berroa, who both signed a card apiece. The big miss on the day was Yoan Moncada, who ignored everyone. But I had already gotten him last season, so I wasn't overly disappointed. After the game — which lasted 12 innings, and ran roughly four hours — I was able to get Braves top prospect, Dansby Swanson, to sign a 4×6 photo, in addition to a card:
April 24th — Indianapolis Indians Vs. Durham Bulls
Following a good night five days earlier at the Mudcats, I was really looking forward to this game. I was able to get Mel Rojas Jr., Trevor Williams and Tyler Glasnow to sign a card before the game, in addition to Cory Luebke signing two cards. After the game, I ventured outside and picked up Jameson Taillon and Cole Figueroa on a couple of cards each, with Josh Bell signing one card after coming back from buying pizza. The biggest misses on the day were Jung-Ho Kang, who was rehabbing but didn't sign for anyone, as well as Alen Hanson. But overall, it was a good evening for autographs:
May 12th — Buffalo Bisons Vs. Durham Bulls
I wasn't sure how great this game was going to wind up, originally. The Bisons didn't have a single one of the Blue Jays' top 30 prospects heading into this game, yet I headed out to the ballpark anyhow. Things turned out to go amazingly; so good that I have to put it in two separate pictures. Before the game, I received three autographs from former Red Sox pitcher Bob Stanley, and two from Pat Venditte, David Aardsma, Fausto Carmona (now named Roberto Hernandez) and Alexi Casilla:
Then, after the game, I was able to do just as good as pregame, getting Matt Dominguez and Tony Sanchez to sign a card, with Domonic Brown, Jesus Montero and Drew Hutchinson all signing a handful:
May 16th — Lynchburg Hillcats Vs. Carolina Mudcats
There weren't a ton of top prospects on this team, with the main two players being Bobby Bradley and Justus Sheffield. Due to Sheffield starting the game, I was only able to get Bradley, Dorssys Paulino (on three cards) and Anthony Santander before the game. But after the game, Justus Sheffield was nice enough to sign a card, as well as Yu-Cheng Chang on a 4×6 photo:
May 31st — Scranton Wilkes-Barre Railriders Vs. Durham Bulls
I didn't do all that well inside before the game, getting just Aaron Judge and Chris Parmelee (on two cards), but outside allowed me to redeem myself. There were probably around 50 people waiting around for Nick Swisher, who has always been a fan favorite — and Swisher didn't disappoint. He stuck around for nearly ten minutes, signing autographs for everyone who wanted one, taking pictures, and simply being himself and joking around with the crowd. It was an awesome experience. After getting Swisher on two cards, I also obtained Cesar Puello and Jake Cave on a card, as well as Ben Gamel on a 4×6 photo:
June 3rd — Gwinnett Braves Vs. Durham Bulls
The original plan for this game was to get the few autographs I needed from the Bulls' players before the game, and then get the many players I needed from Gwinnett outside after the game. However, things didn't go as planned. I was able to get autos from the Bulls before the game like I wanted, but a two-hour rain delay in the second inning lead to the game starting back after 9:30. For that reason, I decided not to stick around for the game, which ended up concluding at 12:15 in the morning. Even so, I was able to get J.P. Arencibia and Daniel Robertson on a couple cards, as well as Jaff Decker and Adam Kolarek on a card each; in addition, I got Austin Pruitt on an old program, and Richie Shaffer on a 4×6 photo that I was hoping to get Blake Snell to sign as well, but was never able to due to his callup to the Rays:
June 26th — Lehigh Valley Ironpigs Vs. Durham Bulls
I had been looking forward to this game since last season, when the Phillies had so many top prospects in Double-A that I assumed would make the jump up to Triple-A in 2016. I wound up seeing the Phillies' top three prospects (all in the top 100) on the team. I obtained three autographs from Jake Thompson, two autographs each from Nick Williams, J.P. Crawford and Ben Lively, as well as an auto from David Buchanan, James Russell, Darnell Sweeney, Emmanuel Burriss and Darin Ruf. So, all-in-all, everything went very well, despite missing out on a few key players such as Andrew Knapp and Edward Mujica due to a combination of bad luck and mental errors:
July 6th — Syracuse Chiefs Vs. Durham Bulls
Trea Turner was the obvious standout of this game, sitting as the number nine overall prospect at the time. Before the game, I wasn't able to get Turner, but instead got A.J. Cole (he surprisingly signed, despite being the starting pitcher), Matt Skole and Michael Taylor (on a couple cards), who had just been sent down. After the game, I was successful in getting Trea Turner to sign a card outside, along with Pedro Severino, and Austin Voth on a 4×6 photo:
July 25th — Durham Bulls Vs. Toledo Mud Hens
I was most looking forward to seeing Steven Moya at this game, who I saw last year but wasn't able to get. However, he didn't sign before the game. Instead, I began the day by snagging former Cubs' pitcher Jeff Pico on a few cards, and proceeded to get Dean Green on a 4×6 photo, as well as Dixon Machado and Casey McGehee on two a piece, with Jacoby Jones, Argenis Diaz and Jordan Valdespin each signing one for me. Then, outside after the game, I got Bobby Parnell, John Hicks and Steven Moya (finally) on two cards:
August 2nd — Carolina Mudcats Vs. Winston Salem Dash
There was really no pressing reason for me to attend this game, other than the fact that I hadn't been to a Mudcats game in around three months, and I was missing it. (And, of course, I knew it would be my last game there of 2016.) Even so, I made the most of it, getting autographs from 2016 first-round draft pick Zack Collins, as well as Telvin Nash, Jose Bautista (not THAT Jose) on three, Brett Austin on a card, and Jordan Stephens on a photo. After the game, I got Travis Demeritte on a couple cards, Braxton Davidson on a card and Sal Giardina on the program for the night:
August 7th — Gwinnett Braves Vs. Durham Bulls
I had already seen Gwinnett once this season, but I was trying for autographs from the Bulls players at that time. This time around, I was solely going for Gwinnett, as they still had a great team. I ended up doing fantastic, getting Omar Infante, Matt Lipka, Rio Ruiz, Aaron Blair, Rob Wooten, Jason Hursh and John Gant before the game:
Then, after getting Ryne Stanek following the final out, I ventured outside and obtained a signature or two from Matt Wisler, Michael McKenry, Reid Brignac, Chris Ellis, Matt Duffy (on the blank-auto card), Curt Casali, Eury Perez and another from Rio Ruiz:
August 19th — Norfolk Tides Vs. Durham Bulls
I don't really have that much to say about this game. My mind wasn't completely in it, and it still bugs me. For that reason, I only got five autographs, from Christian Walker, Trey Mancini, Andy Oliver, Pedro Beato and L.J. Hoes. The end.
August 29th — Columbus Clippers Vs. Durham Bulls
I wanted to end the season with a bang (especially after doing so poorly at the last game), and I did just that. Before the game, I was able to get Steve Karsay, Bradley Zimmer, Ronny Rodriguez, Collin Cowgill, Ryan Merritt, Michael Choice and Erik Gonzalez on a varying number of cards. Then, after getting Jake Hager and Casey Gillaspie immediately following the game, I went outside and picked up an autograph from Cody Anderson, Giovanny Urshela and Yandy Diaz, on a 4×6 photo:
By the Numbers
Though you could take the time for yourself to add it all up, I figured I'd make things a bit easier. Here's a numbers recap of my 2016 MiLB season:
Games attended: 13
Win-loss record for the home team: 7-6
Total runs scored (Home Team-Visitor): 53-40
Top 100 prospects seen in person: 16
Autographs from top 100 prospects: 13
Total autographs: 156
Total miles traveled to & from games: 1,240
My First Games of 2016 Taking Place This Week
If you've been following this blog for any extended period of time, or if you've simply taken the time to peruse through the hundreds of posts I've written, you know that one of the many things I enjoy doing during any given baseball season is going out to the ballpark and getting autographs from some of baseball's up-and-coming top talent.
This season, I'm planning to be much more selective than I have been in the past with which games I go to (due to a number of factors), but I still plan on making it out to my fair share of games in 2016.
Tuesday kicks off my baseball season, as I'm heading out to watch the Mudcats take on the Salem Red Sox. The top three prospects of the Red Sox farm system — Yoan Moncada, Rafael Devers and Andrew Benintendi — are all apart of the current Salem team, so I'm really looking forward to attending this game.
On the other side of things, the Mudcats have their top prospect, Dansby Swanson, as well as 2014 first round draft pick, Braxton Davidson. With so much talent, I'll either leave the game very elated — having gotten an autograph from most if not all of them — or very disappointed.
But while that game features four of the top 25 prospects in all of baseball, making it one of the best minor league games I've ever been to (talent-wise) in my life, the next game on the docket for me isn't far behind.
On the following Sunday, April 24th, I'm planning on heading out to Durham to see them take on the visiting Indianapolis Indians — the Pirate's Triple-A affiliate. I'd been looking forward to seeing this team since last season, when I projected so many good players to be apart of their roster. Three of their top four prospects makeup this team, in Tyler Glasnow, Josh Bell and Jameson Taillon, in addition to Alen Hanson, their number ten prospect. Thus, it should turn out to be a great game.
All in all, this coming week, I'm planning to see eight of the top 53 prospects in person (including Blake Snell for the Bulls). With this season so uncertain as to how often I'll be out at the ballpark, it's nice to get off to such a great start to the year. No matter how the season winds up panning out for me autograph-wise over the next five months, I'm still planning to blog about it all (as I have in the past) after I've attended my last game sometime in September.
2015 Arizona Fall League TTM Autograph Requests
We're just a few days into the 2015 MLB postseason, but it's certainly been exciting so far. A lot of unexpected and equally exciting things are sure to take place over the course of the coming weeks, and it will be something worth watching to see which teams perform as predicted and which teams fail to live up to their full potentials.
However, regardless of that, I'm not going to discuss anything related to the playoffs in this blog post. Instead, I'm going to focus on the Arizona Fall League. More specifically, the through the mail (TTM) autograph requests that I'm sending out to various participating players.
Taking place every October/November — this year it's October 13th through November 14th — the Arizona Fall League (AFL) provides top Minor League players who didn't get a full season of playing time, for one reason or another, a chance to show their organization what they can do, as well as provide them with a little more baseball experience. With several of this year's MLB All-Stars being former AFL players, the best of the best certainly travel through the fall league.
I usually only send off autograph requests in March, for Spring Training, and October, for the Arizona Fall League. Some people send requests to players throughout the season, however, I've never really wanted to do that — they're too busy going around from ballpark to ballpark. In Spring Training and the Arizona Fall League players stay in the same relative area for over a month. In my mind, that provides a better chance of success.
There is a ton of great talent in this year's Fall League, but I'm not sending to all of them. That would take dozens of stamps to complete, and I simply don't want to put the money and time into addressing all of those envelopes, only to receive back a few. Last year I sent six autograph requests to the AFL and got back just three. Therefore, I'm only sending to a select group of players this time around, beginning with Josh Hader, Lewis Brinson, A.J. Reed, Brett Phillips, Austin Meadows, Dominic Smith and Alex Reyes.
All of those players have bright futures ahead in the big leagues. In addition, they all have a history of signing through the mail for people. While that doesn't guarantee that they will sign during the fall league, I'm willing to take that chance.
I may or may not send off a few more requests in the next couple of weeks, depending on who is signing for people. But no matter what, I plan to post an update every time I receive back a few autographs, as I did this year during Spring Training; assuming I get any autographs back at all. So be sure to check back over the next few months to see updates of the autographs I successfully receive.
Recapping My 2015 MiLB Baseball Season
Last year I did a post at the end of the 20 games I spent out at a baseball park recapping my 2014 MiLB and MLB season. Unfortunately, this time around, I wasn't able to make it to any MLB games, however, with the 2015 MiLB season now over for me, I wanted to post an overview of the games and of the autographs I received this year, nonetheless. In all, I managed to make it to 16 baseball games this season. It was a great year, full of fun, and I thought I'd take the time to recap it all:
April 3rd — Greensboro Grasshoppers Vs. Miami Marlins
I went into this game looking forward to the opportunity to get autographs from the likes of Giancarlo Stanton and Ichiro Suzuki, but things didn't go as I had hoped. Both Ichiro and Stanton signed for a few people, but I wasn't able to get either one. Even so, I still managed to get Brett Butler and Donovan Solano to sign a couple of cards each, with Steven Cishek and Tom Koehler signing a card for me as well:
April 10th — Myrtle Beach Pelicans Vs. Wilmington Blue Rocks
Myrtle Beach has one of my favorite ballparks that I've ever visited, and the last time I was there they had a roster that included Joey Gallo, Jorge Alfaro and Nick Williams. This time around, their team wasn't quite as good, but I still managed to get autos from some of their standouts, including Tayler Scott on my ticket, Duane Underwood on a couple of cards, and Billy McKinney and Shawon Dunston Jr. on a card:
April 24th — Carolina Mudcats Vs. Salem Red Sox
I was hoping that the Red Sox would have their top prospect, Yoan Moncada, as part of their lineup at this game, but he hadn't yet been promoted. Instead, I settled for Sam Travis, and a couple of autos from Wendell Rijo. So all in all, it was an okay night:
May 2nd — Carolina Mudcats Vs. Frederick Keys
With Hunter Harvey, Chance Sisco and Josh Hart all on the disabled list, this wasn't the best of teams, but I had already planned on going out to the game and decided to keep my plans. I was able to get a card signed by Adrian Marin, as well as a 4×6 photo signed by Drew Dosch, so it wasn't a complete loss:
May 5th — Carolina Mudcats Vs. Lynchburg Hillcats
This turned out to be the first good game of the year for me. Lynchburg possessed the Indians' number one overall draft pick from the 2013 as well as the 2014 draft, and I was looking forward to seeing them both. In the end, I got three autographs from Clint Frazier, two from Bradley Zimmer, two from Nelson Rodriguez and one from Mike Papi:
May 14th — Durham Bulls Vs. Scranton/Wilkes Barre Railriders
The game started off fairly poorly for me, with me only getting Rob Segedin and Jacob Lindgren before the game, but I made up for it by getting Slade Heathcott, Jose Ramirez, Tyler Austin (on three cards) and Bryan Mitchell outside after the game:
May 31st — Durham Bulls Vs. Syracuse Chiefs
I was looking to get A.J. Cole at this game, but apparently he wasn't there for whatever reason, and Jose Valverde absolutely refused to sign for anyone. Other than that, I did alright, getting most of who I wanted. I ended up with two autos from Bob Milacki, and one from Ian Stewart, Tony Gwynn Jr., Jason Martinson, Cutter Dykstra and Matt den Dekker:
June 8th — Carolina Mudcats Vs. Potomac Nationals
There was basically only one reason I was attending this game: Luas Giolito. As the number five prospect in baseball at the time, I was really looking forward at trying to get his autograph. Not only did I get Giolito (a total of three times), but I also got Drew Ward, Chris Bostick and Jake Johansen on two cards each, and Reynaldo Lopez on a 4×6 photo:
As brief side notes, the "Go Nats" inscription from Jake Johansen was done without asking, and Lopez signed the photo sideways. Interesting, to say the least.
June 10th — Durham Bulls Vs. Lehigh Valley Ironpigs
I've always liked day games, and this was the third straight year I had attended one in Durham. I was looking to get autographs from players in Lehigh Valley, but it just wasn't my day. For the first time in my memory, I didn't get a single autograph at a minor league baseball game — not one. I could've, and really should've, but there was a combination of players ignoring me, people blocking my view, or whatever. But it's all okay. My next game was going to be a big one, and I was determined to redeem myself.
June 20th — Durham Bulls Vs. Columbus Clippers
I had been looking forward to seeing Francisco Lindor again for the third time in three years, but he was called up a week before the game. Still, Columbus had a good enough team. I ended up getting autos from Jose Ramirez, Carlos Marmol, Tyler Naquin and James Ramsey on the Columbus side, and Richie Shaffer and J.P. Arencibia on the Bulls side:
June 24th — Durham Bulls Vs. Toledo Mud Hens
The second day game of the season for me, I was looking forward to this game a lot. Not only did I enjoy day games (as mentioned earlier), but Toledo had a really good team that included Steven Moya. Unfortunately, Moya didn't sign, and all I walked away with was an auto from Mike Hessman, Leon Durham and Corey Jones:
June 30th — Hickory Crawdads Vs. Greenville Drive
This was the last Single-A or higher minor league ballpark in North Carolina that I had never visited, and I was excited to finally make the trip. The visiting team happened to have Red Sox uber prospect, Yoan Moncada, as well as several other of their top prospects. I ended up getting autos from Michael Chavis, Rafael Devers, Joseph Monge, Bryan Hudson and Yoan Moncada from the Red Sox, and Jairo Beras from the Rangers:
August 1st — Durham Bulls Vs. Gwinnett Braves
With Gwinnett not being that great of a team, with the exception of their starting pitcher, Tyrell Jenkins, I went for the Bulls' side instead. I ended up getting Luke Maile, Corey Brown, Richie Shaffer, Taylor Motter and Blake Snell to sign a card (or two), as well as a rehabbing Desmond Jennings:
August 9th — Durham Bulls Vs. Louisville Bats
This turned out to be the best game of the entire season for me. I was able to get Ted Power, Delino DeShields, Donn Roach, Brennan Boesch, John Lamb, Robert Stephenson, Kyle Waldrop, Brandon Finnegan, Sam LeCure, Tony Cingrani and Matt Moore to all sign a card or two:
August 20th — Carolina Mudcats Vs. Salem Red Sox
There was really no point in me attending this game, as I had seen a good Salem team earlier in the year, but I decided to go out anyway. With me not needing much of anyone, I ended up getting just one auto, from Teddy Stankiewicz:
August 30th – Durham Bulls Vs. Charlotte Knights
This was the last game of the year for me, and I did alright. I ended up getting an autographed card from Rob Brantly, Dayan Viciedo (the rain caused it to smear a bit at the end), Blake Smith, Onelki Garcia, Micah Johnson, Tyler Colvin and Kyle Drabek, as well as an autographed 4×6 photo from Jason Coats:
By the Numbers
Though you could take the time for yourself to add it all up, I figured I'd make things a bit easier. Here's a numbers recap of my 2015 MiLB season:
Games attended: 16
Win-loss record for the home team: 8-8
Total runs scored (Home Team-Visitor): 72-70
Top 100 prospects seen in person: 10
Autographs from top 100 prospects: 9
Total autographs: 102
Total miles traveled to & from games: 2,140
My Final Baseball Game of 2015
Sunday will mark the 16th and final game I will attend of the 2015 MiLB season.
It's certainly been a fun year, and it seemed to fly by. But with neither the Mudcats or the Bulls (my two local teams) set to make the playoffs this season, Sunday's game between the Durham Bulls and Charlotte Knights will be the last one for me this year.
The previous fifteen games I've gone to so far this year were all exciting, and saw me heading to ballparks in Hickory, Greensboro, Durham, Zebulon and Myrtle Beach. Throughout the year, and my travels, I managed to get around 100 autographs again this year, and I'll be detailing them all in full within the next week or two.
With the Bulls schedule for next year already released, I've already been looking ahead to the 2016 season, trying to project which players will be coming to town. From the way I'm viewing things, next year could be even more eventful than 2015, but that's a long time down the road, and anything can happen.
Friday to Kick off My 2015 MiLB Baseball Season
While my first official baseball game of 2015 took place just a few days ago, with the Miami Marlins taking on their Single-A affiliate in Greensboro, North Carolina, tomorrow is set to kick off my 2015 minor league baseball regular season.
With the Wilmington Blue Rocks in Myrtle Beach to take on the hometown Pelicans, it's sure to be a good game, as both teams have a decent roster. However, the Pelicans' overall roster is stronger and full of more prospects — nine of their top 30 prospects — so that's the team I'm going to be trying hardest for autographs from.
Every year for the past several years, I've headed out to a baseball game a dozen or so times a year to get autographs from some of the best up and coming talent in the game. On Friday, I'm looking forward to seeing the likes of Billy McKinney, Duane Underwood and Jen-Ho Tseng, among many others. It should be a fun time and lead to a fun game against Wilmington, which possesses Bubba Starling and Dominique Taylor — two of the Royals top prospects.
No matter what happens on Friday, this is just the beginning of what is set to be an exciting 2015 season of baseball game outings. I'm not sure of any specific games I plan on going to past this Friday, but I'm really looking forward to the next five months of baseball ahead . . . .
4/3/15 Greensboro Grasshoppers Vs. Miami Marlins
Exactly three years to the day after the last time I attended a major league exhibition game against one of their minor league affiliates, I was back out at the ballpark on Friday (along with my grandpa) for the first time in nearly seven months. This time, however, it wasn't the home of the Mudcats or Bulls — the ballparks I normally attend — but rather the home of the Grasshoppers. With the Miami Marlins in town, I made the long trek out to the stadium with the sole purpose of grabbing some autographs from the numerous good players their roster possesses.
With that in mind, my grandpa and I arrived to the ballpark an hour before the gates opened, which allowed me to be one of the first people inside when people were first allowed in at 1:00 on the dot. But despite being through the gates first, due to the long walk to the tunnel where the Marlins would be coming in and out of, there were numerous people already surrounding the area. And thus, I had settle with a spot behind a couple of people — a spot I had to squeeze my way into.
The Marlins were already on the field taking batting practice when I first arrived . . . :
. . . so I just stood there with everyone else and waited for the Marlins to return back through the tunnel and into the clubhouse.
But the wait certainly wasn't a boring one. When Giancarlo Stanton — one of the greatest power sluggers currently in baseball — stepped into the cage, all eyes were placed on him, and he didn't disappoint. Stanton quite simply put on one the most unbelievable batting practice show I've ever seen. I had heard a ton about the displays of power he shows off during BP, but actually seeing it in person was amazing.
A few minutes after Stanton concluded his showing off, the Marlins began to wrap up their on field activities and one by one exited the field. As they did so, a great number of the players stopped to sign autographs — with the exception of Michael Morse, who I didn't see sign a single autograph all day long — but I had an extremely hard time getting them to sign for me. Everything was going wrong — whether it was people blocking me out, the players signing on the opposite side of the tunnel, or them just skipping over me. It was appearing to be one of those days.
With all that went wrong, I only managed to get an autograph from Brett Butler and Donovan Solano before the game. Giancarlo Stanton signed for a lot of people . . . except me. And even Ichiro signed some autographs . . . on the opposite side of the stadium. (Like I said before — it was one of those days.)
Once it became apparent that I wasn't going to succeed in getting anyone else's autograph, I reunited with my grandpa back at our ticketed seats to take in the pregame introductions. For the most part, the Grasshoppers didn't have any extremely noteworthy players, however, they did have the 2014 number two overall draft pick, Tyler Kolek, as part of their roster (on the right below):
For the Marlins, Ichiro and Stanton by far received the biggest applause when they were announced, but it was equally exciting to see every player on their team in person. (Christian Yelich, Giancarlo Stanton and Michael Morse, all pictured below, were the ones I enjoyed seeing the most):
Shortly after all of the players were introduced, the game begun.
Starting the game for the Grasshoppers was the Marlins' A.J. Ramos, who gave up a home run to Giancarlo Stanton on the very first pitch he saw. Coming back from a gruesome injury to end 2014, Stanton crushing one during an actual game setting against a big league caliber pitcher appeared to prove that he will be unaffected during the season as some suggested he may be.
Off to a quick 2-0 lead in the first, thanks to the Stanton blast, the Marlins put out Tom Koehler as their starter on the mound against the Grasshoppers, and he was terrific on the day. It was nice to see the Marlins — both their pitching and lineup — do so well with all of the high expectations placed on them for the 2015 season.
It was also nice to see Ichiro in person once again:
Going one for three on the day, this was more than likely the last time I'll ever see the future Hall of Famer in person, and I did my best to take it in. There are very few players that I would pay just to see them play, but Ichiro is definitely one of them — as is Clayton Kershaw and Mike Trout.
Once all was said and done, the Marlins pulled out the win (not surprisingly), 9-6. However, I wasn't around to see the final few innings of the game. After getting removed from the game in the fourth and fifth innings for replacement players, Giancarlo Stanton, Ichiro, Michael Morse and Christian Yelich, among others, made their way to the clubhouse during the seventh inning stretch. With me not wanting to miss the possible chance at getting an autograph from any of them, I made my way out of the ballpark gates and down the corner to where the players' exit/entrance is located.
I was one of the first 50 people down there, but before too long, there were around 200 people, I would estimate, trying for autographs from the players as they left. It took around an hour of standing around for the players to begin emerging from the ballpark, but before long they began coming out in bunches.
Michael Morse and Christian Yelich were the first two out, with both briskly walking past everyone without stopping. Next out was Marcell Ozuna, Adeiny Hechavarria, and Ichiro, who simply waved before making his way onto the bus.
It began to seem as if every player was going to make a nonstop trek to the bus. However, when Giancarlo Stanton came through the doors, he became the first to decide to stop and sign autographs. But before I had the chance to blink, things went from two deep to a cluster of 50 or so people pushing and bumping into each other all surrounding Stanton and making it virtually impossible for me to get within arms distance of him. So with all hope lost for an autograph, I settled for a picture of him instead, which I had to take by raising my camera high above my head:
After Stanton boarded the bus, things settled down again, and I was finally able to get to the front row. By doing so, I succeeded in getting an autograph from Tom Koehler, as well as Steve Cishek, who I got a better picture of than Stanton due to the quieted crowd:
In the end, I didn't walk away with an autograph from Ichiro or Stanton (I truly didn't expect to when the day began), but I did walk away with yet another memory of a great time out at the ballpark. Every time I go to a ballgame, I always have a different, but special, experience.
My sights are now set on the 2015 minor league season, which begins on Thursday.
2015 Spring Training TTM Autograph Update
A couple weeks ago, I blogged about the through the mail (TTM) autograph requests I was planning to send off to players during Spring Training. At the end of the post, I stated that I was going to be publishing a blog post every time I received back a few autographs, and now that I've successfully gotten back some of the requests I sent, I figured I'd go ahead and type this entry up. Of the nine total TTM requests I sent off so far, I've received two of them back, with them being from:
The number one overall draft pick by the Astros in 2013, Mark Appel was regarded as one of the best college pitchers in the country coming off a strong senior season at Stanford. However, he hasn't yet lived up to those numbers. Posting a 6.91 ERA over the course of 18 games started in 2014, Astros fans will surely be watching to see whether or not Appel can get things going this year. Ranked as the number 30 prospect in all of baseball, there are still plenty of people that believe he can . . . and will.
It's very possible that you've never heard of Sam Tuivailala. But that's not because he isn't a valuable asset of the Cardinals' organization. Able to reach 100 miles per hour on his fastball, Tuivaila is an under the radar player in every sense of the word. With 170 strikeouts over the course of 108.1 career relief innings pitched in the minors, Tuivailala has already been able to show his talents on the major league level, making his big league debut last season. Expect him only to get better in the years to come.
I still have autograph requests out for Rob Kaminsky, Jacob Gatewood, Dustin Ackley, Joe Kelly, Scooter Gennett, Tony La Russa and Doug Fister. When/if I get any of those back, assuming it's before Opening Day on April 6th, I'll be sure to post another update. Though, there's no guarantee I'll get any more back at all.
2015 Spring Training Autograph Requests
Spring Training has officially begun for the majority of teams around baseball. Over this past week, pitchers and catchers have made their way to either Florida or Arizona to start their training for the long 162-game 2015 season. Meaning, there are a mere ten days until Spring Training exhibition games get under way and just 43 days before Opening Night between the Cardinals and the Cubs on April 5th.
But I'm not quite ready to jump ahead to the start of the regular season just yet, as I still have a lot I want to talk about in the coming weeks on this blog. Therefore, for the time being, I'd like to take a minute to discuss something I love to do this time of year (besides watch Spring Training games on TV.)
Every Spring Training, for the past three or four years, I've sent out a handful of through the mail (TTM) autograph requests to different players around the league. This year, I'm going to be sending out several TTM's, with the best player I'm sending to being the Astros' 2013 number one pick, Mark Appel.
Other top prospects that I'm planning to send to throughout the spring include Sam Tuivailala (an under the radar, underrated flamethrower in the Cardinals' farm system), Jacob Gatewood (41st overall pick in the 2014, known for his extreme power), Rob Kaminsky (a highly praised pitching prospect with St. Louis), and D.J. Peterson (a breakout slugger in the Mariners' system who hit 31 homers in 2014).
As far as major leaguers are concerned, I'm sending to just a few of those this year. I got tired over the past few years of taking the time to put together an autograph request and wasting stamps to not receive anything back in return. So this time around, I'm only sending to big league players that I feel confident will return the cards signed, either because they have a good record of signing TTM or because they told me they would on Twitter.
Players who fall into that category include Patrick Corbin, Scooter Gennett, Joe Kelly and Dustin Ackley. They won't wind up being the only MLB players I send to before Spring Training is over, but right now that's all I'm sending out. I'll keep an eye on who's signing very well over the coming weeks and if they're a good enough player, I'll likely send something out to them like I did with James Paxton last year and Mark McGwire a few years back. (Both were returned signed, just as had been advertised those springs.)
Last year I sent off fourteen total autograph requests to Spring Training and received back six of them, from Eddie Butler, Clayton Kershaw, Albert Almora, Kyle Zimmer, James Paxton and David Robertson. That's pretty good as far as TTM's go, but not getting back the other eight really made me think about who I sent to in 2015. So I'm sending off just nine to start off, with there being a good possibility I'll add a few more to the list of autograph requests before Spring Training ends.
No matter what I decide to do, and no matter how many I successfully receive back signed, I'm planning to post a blog entry every time I receive back 2-3 autographs from the players I'm sending to, just as I did last year. Hopefully it won't be all that terribly long before I start getting them back (maybe a few weeks?). So be sure to check back over the course of the next couple months to see how well I do this Spring Training.
2014 Arizona Fall League TTM Requests Update
Around a month ago I blogged about the through the mail (TTM) autograph requests I was planning to send off to players during the Arizona Fall League. At the end of the post I stated that I was going to be publishing a blog post every time I received back a few autographs, and now that I've successfully gotten back some of the requests I sent, I figured I'd go ahead and type this entry up. Of the seven total TTM's I sent off, I've received three of them back, with them being from:
Daniel Robertson is the number one prospect in the Athletics' organization, and the number eighty-five prospect in all of baseball. At just 20 years old, Robertson still has plenty of time to develop into the future big league star that many feel he's destined to become, but he made great strides towards that in 2014. Batting .310 with 15 home runs and 60 RBI's on the year, Robertson will be a big part of the A's future.
Jace Peterson (who, unfortunately, signed this card in ink pen) is no longer a top prospect for the Padres, however, he is expected to be a big part of their team moving forward. Going back and forth between the majors and Triple-A this season, Peterson's bat didn't stick in the big leagues, batting just .113 in 53 at-bats, but his glove and speed should allow him to stick with the Padres starting in 2015 while his bat catches up.
No longer playing, Lance Parrish is currently the manager for the Glendale Desert Dogs. The former first round draft pick and eight-time MLB All-Star, Parrish blasted 324 home runs and recorded a couple hundred hits shy of 2,000 for his career. Winning six career silver slugger awards, and picking up two gold gloves, Parrish may not be an all time great, but he was a solid player in his day.
I still have autograph requests out for Hunter Renfroe, Byron Buxton, Trevor Story and Brandon Nimmo. When/if I get any of those back I'll be sure to post another update. Although there's no guarantee I'll get any more back at all.


text: Home > Sports Folayang to make his case for world title shot ABS-CBN News Posted at May 01 2014 05:32 PM | Updated as of May 02 2014 01:32 AM Share Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest MANILA, Philippines – Filipino fighter Eduard Folayang plans to make his case for a world title shot when he collides against former lightweight champion Kotetsu Boku on Friday at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena. A dominant victory over Boku could set him up for a title challenge against ONE FC lightweight champion Shinya Aoki. "It's my goal to get that belt, not only for myself, but for my team and for my country. The determination to achieve that dream is burning in my heart," the 29-year-old Team Lakays fighter said in MMAWeekly.com. "I believe that a win over Boku will bring me closer to the title that's why I need to be victorious." Folayang is coming off a unanimous verdict against Dutchman Vincent Latoel last December in front of his local fans. "The Landslide," however, has a formidable foe in the tattoo-riddled Boku, who stopped Arnaud Lepont in just one round last March. "He is good at using boxing and for me to counter that I need to learn more about the principles of boxing, so I have been training with some very good boxers. I think Boku's strength is in his hands; he likes to trade and knows how to use his punching power to capitalize," said Folayang. He added that he plans to incorporate his newfound wrestling skills into his repertoire. "I believe I'm a much more well-rounded than him because I can use punches, kicks and takedowns together… From what I have seen in his fights I believe his wrestling is his weakness," said Folayang. The Folayang-Boku match will serve as the co-main event of ONE FC: Rise of Heroes, which will feature the bantamweight title defense of Bibiano Fernandes against Grand Prix winner Masakatsu Ueda.

Government-backed venture capital funds outperform rivals
Companies that received some government support outperformed those backed purely by private venture capital in recent years, according to new research that conflicts with recent reports by other bodies.
Enterprises that received up to half of their venture capital funding from governments outperformed rivals backed purely by private venture capital and also those with over 50% of government backing; both in terms of value on exit and patent creation, according to a report published today by the World Economic Forum, the Switzerland-based, non-profit foundation.
The report's authors – James Brander and Thomas Hellmann of the University of British Columbia and Qianqian Du at Shanghai Jiao Tong University – wrote: "In small amounts, government-supported venture capitalists can address obvious market failures and improve economic outcomes [by] picking the low-hanging fruit. In large amounts, however, GVCs may simply compete with, and crowd out private venture capitalist activity".
GVCs may help to provide certain kinds of support, including financial backup, but may be less useful when they have control over business decisions, because sound economic objectives may be subverted or bypassed in order to achieve "questionable political objectives," according to the report.
The authors wrote: "Government venture capital may be at its most effective when it remains disciplined by private venture capital."
The report, which analysed over 28,000 companies based in 126 countries that received venture capital funding between 2000 and 2008, lends weight to the government's decision to launch its UK Innovation Investment Fund, which will invest in nascent companies. The government is seeding the fund with £150m, and expects to raise further money from third parties, with a target of £1bn.
However the WEF report appears to contradict two earlier studies that questioned both the value and practice of government investment in venture capital funds.
Last week, the UK's National Audit Office published a report showing that venture capital funds backed by the UK government have made a loss on four out of five of the investments they have sold, reflecting poorly on the government's ability to seed nascent businesses.
Meanwhile, a September report by the British Venture Capital Association and the National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts found that small businesses have not been helped enough by the UK Government's venture capital schemes and an overhaul of the system is needed.

Blood In Stool After Rectal Cancer Surgery
Is it likely to get hernia after rectal cancer surgery?
Depends: There are many surgical options to manage rectal cancer. If amenable to a transanal approach, there is no risk, if laparoscopic, you have a smaller risk than an open abdominal procedure. If you require a permanent colostomy, you have the potential for hernias at the abdominal incisions, around the colostomy and at the perineum, bottom where the anus was. A colorectal surgeon can provide options. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
Rectal Cancer (Definition)
Cancer by definition is the growth in size and number in an unregulated manner of a cell line that has developed a mutation. The mutation is passed through the offspring which accumulate more and more mutations. The defining factor is that the cells act immortal as compared to normal cells that have a programmed lifespan. In the rectum this can occur in the cells that ...Read more

Possibly repeat test: Occult testing often leads to false positives. Abnormal test results may occur after eating meat, a nosebleed or gum bleed. It does not necessarily indicate internal bleeding.

I had lar for rectal cancer 5mo ago. Now, I have a persistent groove line in my stool (same size as before surgery). Normal cea. What's the cause?
Not sure: There is any significance to a groove, but you may discuss this with your surgeon. The procedure uses a circling stapling device to bring the resected ends together, occasionally this is done by hand. Control of your bowels, lack of blood all positive signs. Does not sound like cancer. Talk to the surgeon about your concern. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer

PHP C extension boilerplate code generator
PHP2C is a PHP to C converter that can be used to improve your productivity when writing more complicated PHP extensions in C. With PHP2C you can simply describe classes, interfaces and global functions in PHP language and PHP2C will generate skeleton of your new PHP extension.
PHP2C supports classes, interfaces, methods, functions, properties, default values and also prefills the implementations of functions and methods with some basic parameter parsing and checking.
The code is fairly complete and useful.
Get the code here: php2c.tar.gz (released 2009–01–28)
The repository can be found on GITHUB: http://github.com/…s/php2c/tree
Installation and use
- Extract
- Explore
- Run test.sh
- Write the extension interface in PHP
- And then do the real hard stuff instead of wasting your time writing boilerplate code.
How you can help to improve the application
Feel free to create branches in the project's repository on GITHUB or send me patches or pull requests for your changes.

Celebrity Millennium Cruise Review by lmg: Worse ever cruise
Overall Member Rating
Worse ever cruise
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
Started 7 day cruise out of Vancouver. Landed at first port Ketchican. Upon leaving that evening felt a jolt like an earthquake. 2 hours later it was announced ship lost an engine and would return to port. Every 8 hours got an update that mechanics were working on problem and ship expected to leave next day. The 3rd day after being in same port, celebrity announced they would be ending cruise and flying people to anchorage or Seattle and that passengers should make their air changes out of those cities. Then it was changed 4 hours later that they would not fly to anchorage. Info was constantly changing.
At start of cruise, captain and officers were available for captains toast and introductions,. When problems arose no official would show themselves. What is so disturbing is that ship had exact problem the week before but we were never informed. the week before millennium was stuck at first port, seward, for 4 days then cruised to last port, Vancouver with no stops. In short More we are out airfare, vacation time and spent 2 days in long lines in ship trying to get info. Cruise will refund our money and give partial credit toward another cruise. I feel really bad for the French and Australian tourists I met who paid $1900 in airfare to take this cruise. In addition we are out any post cruise expenses we had incurred for our stay in Anchorage. The only saving grace was the entertainment comedian... Though he had the ship breakdown the week before to use for his material.
Last day consisted of a 6:30am embarkation arriving home in San Fran at midnight! Less

Meet Lexi!! The incredibly gorgeous new 2011 Lexus RX 450H, that's right folks, the "H" stands for Hybrid. As a full hybrid, the RX 450h can operate in electric only, gas engine only, or combine the power of both. The 3.5-liter V6 gas engine and electric motors provide a combined 295-hp. The hybrid drivetrain offers you V8 performance with four-cylinder fuel economy. Lexi also comes loaded with all the goodies you want in a newer vehicle including GPS Navigation System, USB/Auxiliary Input, Bluetooth and that is just the beginning. This Hybrid SUV truly has everything! The RX 450h also comes with premium black leather seats. But Momo, black leather is way too hot in the summer and way too cold in the winter! Well friends, the seats in this Lexus are not only heated, but can be cooled too saving your skin on those sweltering summer days! Inside and out you can tell this SUV was well taken care of. You definitely do not want to let this one slip away! Call one of our Sales Professionals and book your meeting with Lexi today!
We believe in full disclosure and just wanted to let you know the Lexus has a former insurance claim of $2,480 from 2013-03-06. The repair is Certified and No structural damage was reported. Now back to the Lexus!
Here are two awesome facts that you want to know:
1) To say Lexus is obsessed with keeping micron-size particulates away from precision components is an understatement. Once engine parts are made, Lexus preps them for assembly in a lab-like clean room, isolated from the rest of the facility. Here, workers are given "air showers" before they enter, parts are kept in special dust-free containers, and each part and container gets multiple high-power vacuums before components are assembled.
2) Lexus was the first company to release the Luxury Hybrid SUV to the market in 2006. This means Lexus has been working tirelessly to make this vehicle run smoother, better and more fuel efficient from the beginning and you as a buyer can be confident in knowing you are getting the best of the best!
Fuel Economy: You can drive 50km for approx. $3.78! Rated at 8.4L/100km. Toronto from Niagara for $8.46!
Did You Know? Lexus is a segment of the global giant Toyota Motor Corporation and the first Lexus cars were sold in North America in the year 1989.
