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

I grew up in Dallas but now live in Atlanta. +1 on the above post.
The Braves on the other hand, don't get it and they never will get it. They try to be fan friendly, but when push comes to shove they just seem to botch it each and ever time. They have made it near impossible to get autographs before games, as you are banned from standing by the dugout and must go to the designated section. Who really wants to be packed together with a bunch of smelly dealer types? Yuck! And they never have public events with players, and when they used to, it was 'no autographs' like we were dealing with the POTUS. Security everywhere. Crazy. Plus it is well known that the Braves are a horrible signing team at home. Been like this for years. They are great on the road, but never touch a pen at home. Never understood that one. I mean come one Braves, who is paying the bills? The home fans or the away fans?! I have just given up on the Braves. Wish I still lived in Dallas!!
