Matt Barnes (Sports Authority) (10-26-13)

Matt Barnes was scheduled to have his 1st signing of the year yesterday from 3-4 pm at Sports Authority in Hawthorne. I decided to check it out in hopes of a low turnout. I arrived about 10 minutes before 3 and was surprised to see only about 100 people there. I got in line and then Matt arrived a couple minutes before 3 and started taking pictures with staff before starting to sign for fans. He was also taking photos with fans so it took a while to finally get to him, but finally at about 3:50 I was next in line. When I got up to the table I handed Matt my basketball and had him sign it:


It didn't come out exactly how I wanted it too but I was still happy to get it. I then got a photo with Matt and left. Overall it was a great event and I thank Matt Barnes for coming out to sign. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more to come.

Paul Lo Duca & Shawn Green (EDCO Recycling and Transfer Collection Center) (10-12-13)

I heard about this signing a couple days ago and I knew there wouldn't be a big turn out since it wasn't highly advertised. I decided to check it out since it was from 11-1 and only like 20 minutes from my house. I ended up leaving late and got there at 11:45. There was about 20 people in front of me when I got there but the line went slow because they were taking pictures too. I finally got to the front of the line 15 minutes later and got Shawn Green to sweetspot my ROMLB and inscribe "4 HR's 5-23-02" and Paul Lo Duca to sweetspot another ROMLB for me and inscribe "4x All-Star":


Overall it was a great event and I'm glad I was able to add 2 more awesome autographs to my collection. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more to come.
