My name is Brian, and I've been collecting autographs for about 8 years. If you have any questions, e-mail me at hakmacpacesv1@hotmail.com .
I will not be able to post updates from here forward because of college. Thanks to those who have followed my site.

So for Hall of Fame Weekend, I decided to try the Aberdeen vs. Oneonta game and did pretty good. Brady Anderson, BJ Surhoff, and David Segui were all there. Segui was very personable and talked to the 'graphers for a while. Anderson signed a few. I got 10 total.

I got my second of ten requests today.
Rich Hill 1/1 c/o Iowa Cubs ( 17 days)
The autograph came out a little splotchy but overall its a good success, he should be in the Cubs rotation next year.
I attended the Binghamton Mets game against Trenton Thunder last night. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Shelley Duncan was a genuine asshole, as would only sign one and with a major attitude. My big success was Mets prospect Mike Pelfrey, a great guy. Here's a list of who I got, pictures should be up anytime now.
Eric Duncan 1/1
Shelley Duncan 1/2
Mike Pelfrey 2/2
Dave Eiland 2/2
Vince Faison 4/4
Kevin Howard 3/3
Matt Desalvo 3/3
Bronson Sardinia 1/1
Bryan Edwards 1/1
Tyler Clippard 1/1
Well, after sending out my first 10 letters almost two weeks ago, i received my first success
Peter Bergeron 6/6 c/o Scranton Wilkes-Barre Red Barons (12 days)
i should have the pictures up sometime before the 24th, i need to get a new memory card for my digital camera
