Koufax at Spring Training...

[7nohitter]

Just wonder if anyone is having any luck acquiring a Koufax signature, and if so what it looks like.

Seen posts left and right on other boards, read he is signing around 200-250 a day on days he decides to sign (he signed Friday, Sunday and Yesterday) and has been mostly pleasant, as the line is fairly organized. One guy (who looks like your sterotypical dealer based on pictures I saw) tried to cut the line Sunday, a skirmish broke out and Koufax stopped signing. He signs 1 per person, but people are double dipping the lines and bringing help, so seen people posts up to getting 10 in a day from him. He seems to be signing nearly everything but not rarely SS balls. The signatures I have seen posted (I would say close to 100) all look nice and your typical Koufax signature. Nothing rushed like the past few years.

Here's the one I got last year. I got this the first day I was there, which I think was also the first day he was there. This was before he instituted "the line." I had to deal with a bunch of people pushing everyone to get it.

After that he started having people line up near the club house. He'd stop and sign sporadically throughout practice:

With this kind of nonsense, it is astonishing he signs at all. Who could blame anyone for not wanting to deal with this?

It's really just people standing in a line. The way he's decided to do it is actually the best way and ensures people get an autograph without having people jumping on their backs. All you need to do is get there early and wait it out.

It's good to know this stuff. I always wanted to go to spring training just to get Koufax' signature, but I feel like the lines would be too long and he may not sign on many days (especially the days I'm there).

Does anybody know if Kershaw or Puig sign during spring training?

My son went Thurs and Fri. Didn't sign Thursday. Signed maybe 180 Friday and then stopped. My son was next to last person to get him. He signed for a specific amount of minutes and then stopped. there was cutting in online that day
