Piratefest 2011

This year I spent more time enjoying events such as Q&A's, games etc., than waiting in the long autograph lines...mostly because I have gotten just about every, if not all, current Pirate's auto's.





Was great to chat w/ James...he was cool, he BS'd with Rachel and I for a moment, and was super friendly. FYI All these JMac items are FT, since they are all doubles. LMK if you're interested.



Clint Barmes signed a bajillion auto's for several mobs throughout the day. He told me that he was eager to team up with Neil Walker, and was talking up Walker's defensive and offensive abilities.





"The Fort" was really cool, my wife and I enjoyed chatting w him for a moment. I have an extra signed McKenry Pirates card FT if anyone is interested.





"The Hanranator!"

Meeting a childhood hero was certainly the highlight of my day, Andy is still in great shape, I told him my softball team could use him if he were interested! He was very accommodating, and even took a pic w me.

Someone finally explained what Tiger Fest was all about to me late last season, so I was planning on going this year. Apparently they've cancelled it this year, though. It takes place in the stadium in Detroit and they're doing some remodeling work, so it just won't work this year.

The Caravan is something different from Tiger Fest, I believe. Nobody has talked me in to the Caravan yet (maybe because I'm close enough to Comerica).
