I had mentioned in my previous post that I was hoping to go
to Baltimore this weekend. There was a change of plans. I had too much work to
do to take off Thursday and Friday. So, I decided to hit a show in Westchester and
then head up to New Britain CT for the New Britain Rock Cats (Twins) vs. Reading Phillies (Phillies) AA teams.
The show in Westchester had 6 players set to sign autographs. I added Ed
Kranepool to my Shea Stadium Seat back. That brings my total to 28 former
Mets on the seat back.
There is usually a free autograph with admission to the show and it was Paul Blair, I got Blair on an 8x10. Also at the show was Joe Pepitone, Al Downing, Lou Brock and Buddy Harrelson. I have everyone else except for Downing and didn’t want to stay around and wait for him.

Had some lunch with Grandma and then headed up to New
Britain. Gates open 90 mins before the game on weekends. I decided to go to the
Reading side before the game because they had more top 20 prospects for either
team. On Reading I got:
Trevor May SS on an OMLB and also got (3) 2011
Topps Minor League Heritage cards. Trevor is ranked 1st overall player in the
Phillies system. Real nice guy and signed multiples for everyone.
Jiwan James (3) 2011 Topps Minor League
Heritage cards. According to the website above he is listed as the 20th
overall.
JC Ramirez (3) 2011 Topps Minor League
Heritage cards.
Then
on an OMLB I was able to get the following:
Bob Milacki, Pitching Coach

Then after the game I head over to the Rock cats parking lot and was
able to get the following on a OMLB:

The Ducks come home this coming Friday for a 10 game homestand and then on May 25th I'm hoping to head up the see the Rockland Boulders vs Worcester Tornadoes. Not sure
if some of have heard that Jose Canseco signed on to DH with Worcester. Jose is hanging on by a thread at the age of 47. There is no official roster posted yet. So, I'm not sure if there are any other former big league players on Worcester or Rockland. Dave Lapoint is the Boulders Manager and Damian Rolls is the Boulders Hitting Coach. I do know that Howard Johnson's son Glen did sign with the Boulders.
