I went to some minor league games this past year and got:
Delmon Young
Jeremy Hermida
Stephen Drew
Bobby Jenks
Chris Young
Ryan Sweeney
I also jumped the fence when I was younger at a Spring Training game, and got Donny Baseball's (After the game of course). He was my childhood hero. It was one of the greatest days of my life.
I've got 4 great autographs.I got Jerome Bettis autograph on holiday seeing my aunt in Pittsburgh.I got Ivan Rodriguez autograph on a card for my birthday off my dad who visited Texas when he played for them. I inherited a signed Reggie Jackson bat off my grandad and I got Derek Jeter to sign my shirt outside a sports shop in Long Island where he was signing items.Try and beat that
I have Jason Kendall, Estben Loazia, Matt Williams, Sean Casey, and Ken Griffey Jr. on baseballs. But my prize is the mini helmet my wife got me for Xmas signed by the one and only Johnny Bench. Bench and Rose were my childhood heroes, and that helmet was one of the greatest gifts I have ever recieved.
football: i have 2 different signed balls with a combo of jp losman, lee evans, eric moulds, willis mcgahee, jabari greer, drew bledsoe, brian moorman, london fletcher (he also gave me the marker too), takeo spikes, nate clements, lawyer milloy, troy vincent, some other guys...
autographed jerseys: eric moulds, willis mcgahee, jabari greer.
jabari greer is a mad cool person (buffalo bills now-starting CB) last season in his rookie year as an undrafted free agent we started talking to him after practice when he and some other players came to the fence around the field at training camp. (we as in me and some friends) and we quickly became friends with him. now a whole bunch of ppl tried to copy us and make conversation with him but usually he just comes right over to us first, and we keep in touch through e-mail.
I made a bet in 2003 that the Devil Rays would win the 2008 World Series. Oh so close.

My prized baseball possession is a signed Felix Hernandez ball that I got after Felix pitched 7 strong shut out innings in a minor league game. I met up with him on his way to the clubhouse. It was pretty sweet. I also have a Marcus Trufant signed Seahawks foamhead. That was pretty neat to get too.
I got trevor hoffman and mike cameron's autographs at spring training this year. I also have a danny haren autograph, woody williams, and a few others. (all are on baseballs). My favorite autograph is my ozzie smith baseball.
