Yaz grabbed the sweet spot, but did that piss off Aaron or someone else by doing so? Was he first to sign? Was he later and just had the stones to take that spot after nobody else did?



Of course, I missed the fact that your dad had him sign that spot until after I wrote this, but had this not been the case, who should have been on the sweet spot and who actually ends up on it?
On a ball like this, i would have tried to put the president on the sweet spot.
I think most of these multi signed balls probably come down to who physically gets to sign first. I think whomever signed first probably takes the sweet spot unless specifically asked not to.
