Default Anyone going to Spring Training?

I'm leaving the 18th to head down to Florida. Will most likely be visiting the camps of the Astros, Marlins, Cardinals, Mets, Nationals, and Tigers. I usually do pretty well with autographs at Spring Training and hope this year will be no different. Would very much like to get Trea Turner before he becomes a huge star and hoping for an Ichiro before he says good bye.

Will be in Peoria, AZ March 8th through the 12th. Will see the Mariners, Cubs, Indians and Reds. 12 signed cards last year. Hoping for 20.

We are going to Mesa again for Cubs Spring training March 13-18th. I am armed with my 8 year old daughter. Don't worry, any autographs obtained will be kept in our collection.

I didn't get a chance to go to Cubs camp when I was in AZ a few years ago. I did really like Arizona though. All of the camps are within a half hour of each other. Florida is really spread out.

Headed to Tampa/Orlando.

Do the Marlins still offer the VP batting practice pass? It was $25, but it got you in the stadium early and on the field for half of the visitor and all of the Marlins' BP. It was well worth it. I got A bunch of great autographs including Dawson doing that.

Got my Mattingly Topps rookie signed today at Marlins camp. Their camp is awful now though Stanton, Ichiro and the rest of the starting players were all on a back field that they don't even let you near. You literally couldn't even see them. Mattingly was nice though as usual

Another good day today went to Astros and Nationals camp. They share a facility now. Was able to get Carlos Correa and Alex Bregman at Astros camp and then snagged Trea Turner at Nats camp.

glad you got Harper and he's an amazing player, but that signature looks like what you do to see if the pen still has ink in it.

That may be but if I was interested in aesthetics I'd collect art

They draw a pretty decent crowd. The facility itself is beautiful. The Astros side is really nice too. Not too great a neighborhood otherwise though but maybe that'll change now that the park is there.

Will be in Scottsdale in a couple of weeks. Have tickets to a Royals game (my grandson's favorite team and Alex Gordon is his favorite player). Cub's tickets are insane. Will go to an ASU game and probably a Giants game (love Scottsdale stadium)

I just learned that the Hall of Fame Traveling Exhibit will be at Talking Stick (Rockies and Diamondbacks) for much of March. Has anyone seen it? Is it worth going to?
