autograph help

Okay...i have tried to get autographs before, but have had no success. I am a Mets fan (dont laugh too hard) and have sent to the stadium many times and I can't get them all the way to the players. Any ideas?

thanks

Doug

You'll have to get to the field boxes and be there at least 2 hours before the game. Players will be there loosening up and usually more accessible then. The closer you get to game time the harder it will be to get one.

If you're in NJ can't you make it to some of the games and try during batting practice?
Are you making sure you send a SASE? I'm pretty sure if you don't they don't reply at all. If you do it through the mail it's always a possibility of getting a ghost signer. Unfortunately part of the game.

Good luck to you.

Doug I'm a Mets fan as well, I'm trying to find someone to goto a game with me, but around here Mets fans are hard to come by...Anyway I have no input I just wanted to mention that I'm a Mets fan too...

my brother used to get a lot of autographs when we were little, cause he would just continue to walk past security. if security would stop him it would usually be by the time he was where he wanted to be an a player would stop security from taking him out (like doc gooden did) and sign his stuff, then pass him around to other players and give him whatever they had laying around. (we have a GIANT knicks players' shoe that's autographed) that and we would get to the games etc. early and hang out by the sides of the field and get autographs. then after the game we'd wait by the busses, normally the team would sign then. the away team was sometimes more inclined to stop, cause they didn't recognize you from standing out there after every game. it all depends on who you're aiming for. it definitely helps to be a little kid. good luck!!

keith, we weren't mets fans, but we would go to the mets games to watch the other teams. you should try getting some friends who care about the other team to go.
