When I arrived, I noticed all the booths that were set up had tons of swag on the tables. Mostly Don Mattingly and Hong-Chih Kuo bobbleheads. There were thousands of them, which didn't surprise me considering no one attended those games. I could have taken as many as I wanted, but I didn't want to get greedy, so I took one of each, and I won one. I'll be giving those three bobbleheads away sometime in the future.
Like I said earlier, I was there for the autographs, so I got into the signing right away. All the lines were reasonably short, they ran smoothly and all the signers were friendly. The only line that got a little messy was Fernando Valenzuela, and that should come as no surprise to anyone, as he's always the most popular player at these events.
Here's who I got:
 |
| Al "The Bull" Ferrara |
 |
| Manny Mota |
 |
| That's Javy Guerra, I swear |
 |
| Sweet Lou Johnson |
 |
| Tommy Davis |
 |
| Ramon Troncoso |
 |
 |
| Kenny Landreaux |
 |
| My pic with Derrel came out blurry. Here's his auto. |
 |
| Bill Russell |
 |
| Steve Yeager |
 |
| Fernando |
 |
| Hall of Famer Jaime Jarrin |
I had a great time at Viva Los Dodgers yesterday, and I can't wait to do it again next year. I ran into quite a few people I know yesterday, and I met a few new people as well. It was nice seeing you all! Oh, I want to give a quick shoutout to Alex for taking the pics yesterday. Thanks!
Were able to take baseballs into the festival to get them signed?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - yes. There were people with bats too. You could've brought pretty much anything.
ReplyDeleteNice pick ups man. I myself finally got Kemp on Sunday. Hopefully on Thursdays game i can get my bobble head signed.
