The Rangers have an organized signing every Wednesday night home game. They setup four stations around the concourse and fans can choose which station they go to. Each station typically signs 150 to 200 autographs per night. You line up early and get a free autograph ticket for your station. If you have a graph ticket, you'll get a graph and depending how fast it goes, the players will sometimes sign a few for those that got there late or didn't plan ahead or just happened to wander up. The Rangers have some of these nights where it's kids only 13 and under, but management also understands that it's the adults that pay the bills, buy the season tickets, buy the concessions, et , and that adults collect as well, and on those nights it's open to all ages. it's usually 3 players and one coach, and every now and then, some of the stars will take a turn
This is usually the best night to try and get graphs from BP however, as most of the chasers are busy standing in line waiting for the organized signing.
Plus, the Rangers let season ticket holders enter the park 30 minutes before everyone else on all games, and that is by far, the best time to get graphs, you don't have to deal with all the extra people. The Rangers are an organization that "gets it" as far as I'm concerned. They've treated me and my daughter WELL and we reward that by buying tickets, going to their events, and generally spending money with them
Good times and good memories
