A RECAP OF THE OC DUGOUT SIGNINGS WITH CAREW,SANTANA AND "KING FISH".


FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE OC DUGOUT ( LANCE AND BRIAN ) FOR MAKING THIS EVENT POSSIBLE. THIS EVENT WAS WELL ORGANIZIED. I ARRIVED AT THE OC DUGOUT WITH MY POSSE ( MY TWO KIDS ) AROUND 7:30AM. THE GATES WERE CLOSED. ABOUT 8AM THE GATES WERE OPEN AND BY MY SURPRISE THERE WERE WAS A LINE OF PEOPLE. ABOUT 10 PEOPLE WERE IN LINE. THE ARTIST KYLE MORRISSEY, ONE OF MY FACEBOOK FRIENDS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES TO BE THERE AT 6AM. KYLE MORRISSEY POSING NEXT TO HIS PAINTING OF ROD CAREW.

A ROD CAREW FAN GETTING HE'S CALIFORNIA ANGELS HELMET SIGNED BY ROD CAREW.

ERVIN SANTAN WAS THE FIRST TO ARRIVE. SANTANA ARRIVED A LIL EARLY AND ROD CAREW WAS RIGHT ON TIME. NOW TO GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD, BECAUSE THERE WAS ABOUT 300 ANGEL FANS WAITING TO MEET THESE TWO. I KNOW I WAS!. THE SIGNINGS STARTED A LIL AFTER 11AM DUE TO ALL THE LAST MINUTE ANGEL FANS. SHOWING UP LATE TO PURCHASE TICKETS. ONCE THE EVENT GOT STARTED THE LINE HAD A GOOD FLOW OF OF MOVEMENT. SANTANA WAS GREAT! HE WAS ALL SMILES, GREATING EVERYONE AS THEY CAME FORTH WITH THERE ITEM(S). TAKING PICTURES WITH SANTANA WELL HE SIGN YOUR ITEM(S). AT ONE POINT SANTANA'S PEOPLE WERE SAYING NO PICTURES, BUT THEN SANTANA'S PEOPLE SAID ONLY WELL HE'S SIGNING. THAT'S BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE CAME OUT TO MEET MR. NO-HITTER AND TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE HAD A CHANCE TO MEET SANTANA. AFTER YOU PASS SANTANA, IT WAS TIME TO MEET HALL OF FAMER... ROD CAREW! I WAS EXCITED. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET MR.CAREW. OFF THE BACK ROD CAREW'S PEOPLE SAID NO PICTUES! ...THAT SUCKS. I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT FELT LIKE THAT, BUT NOT ONLY THAT. ONE OF THE PHOTOS THAT THE OC DUGOUT WAS SELLING COULD NOT BE SIGNED. THIS WAS NOT THE OC DUGOUT'S FAULT. THIS CAME FROM ROD CAREW'S PEOPLE AND THEY WERE SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO CAREW. CAREW WAS LIMITED TO WHAT HE CAME SIGN. THE NO PICTURE THING WAS A LIL TO MUCH. A LOT OF FANS WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT. I KNOW THE OC DUGOUT WASN'T. BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO? NOTHING BECAUSE ITS A BUSINESS AND YOU WANT TO BUILD A RELATIONSHIP, SO THE NEXT SIGNING WILL BE BETTER AND WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS. OTHER THAN THAT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FINE. BOTH SANTANA AND CAREW GAVE OUT SWEET AUTOGRAPHS. PEOPLE WERE HAPPY WITH JUST MEETING AND RECEIVING THERE AUTOGRAPH(S) WALKING AWAY WITH SMILES.
TIM "KING FISH" SALMON ARRIVED RIGHT ON TIME. THE SALMON SIGNING WAS SCHEDULE FROM 1-3PM. THERE WAS  ABOUT 100 PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE FOR KING FISH.SALMON CAME IN READY TO MEET AND SIGN FOR HIS FANS.  I'VE MEET SALMON BEFORE AND I HAVE NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT KING FISH. A REALLY NICE GUY AND WILL ALWAYS TAKE THE TIME TO SIGN AND TAKE PICTURES WITH THE KIDS. THE LINE WENT  BY SO QUICK. THAT SOME OF US HUNG AROUND AND ATE CAKE. THATS RIGHT CAKE!... THERE WAS A REALLY NICE LOOKING ANGELS CAKE. THE KIDS SAT BY A TABLE NEXT TO KING FISH AND ATE CAKE. HOW AWESOME WAS THAT! HOW MANY KIDS CAN SAY THAT THEY HAD CAKE WITH TIM SALMON...LOL. WELL SALMON WAS SIGNING ITEMS FOR THE OC DUGOUT AND FOR FANS THAT COULDNT MAKE IT TO THE SIGNING BUT DROP OFF THERE ITEM(S) I WAS ASKING SALMON WHAT NICKNAME DOES HE PREFER? SALMON SAID " I LIKE KING FISH. I DONT LIKE BEING CALLED MR.ANGEL". I THINK KING FISH IS A SWEET NICKNAME. OVERALL IT WAS A GREAT DAY AT THE OC DUGOUT. ONCE AGAIN THE OC DUGOUT SIGNING WAS A HIT. CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT SIGNING. IF YOUR NOT ON THE OC DUGOUT'S EMAILING LIST, GET ON IT. YOU WILL BE INFORMED ABOUT ALL THE UP COMING APPEARANCES AND EVENTS. TILL NEXT TIME... GO ANGELS!!!

RECAP OF THE TORII HUNTER SIGNING AT RALPHS IN ANAHEIM

 FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO THANK PEPSI MAX FOR THIS EVENT. ME AND MY FAMILY ARRIVE AT RALPHS AT 5:15AM AND THERE WAS ALREADY PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE. THERE WAS ABOUT 28 PEOPLE IN FRONT OF US.THE FIRST PERSON IN LINE GOT THERE AT 3AM. BY 6AM THERE WAS ABOUT 65 PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE. BY 9AM THERE WAS OVER 300 PEOPLE IN LINE. BY 10:40AM THERE WAS 500 PEOPLE. TORII WAS LATE.THE EVENT WAS SCHEDULE TO START AT 11AM. THE EVENT DIDNT START TILL 11:40AM AND THE LINE WAS STILL GROWING 600+ PEOPLE. BY 12:40 THE ANAHEIM POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO CUT THE LINE IN HALF. THE LAST HALF OF THE LINE WAS SENT HOME WITHOUT THE CHANCE TO MEET TORII HUNTER. FOR THESE KIND OF EVENTS YOU HAVE TO BE THERE EARLY IN THE MORNING.SOME PEOPLE MIGHT THINK THATS CRAZY TO BE THERE SO EARLY, BUT THATS WHAT YOU GOTTA DO IN ORDER TO GET AN AUTOGRAPH. LET ME TELL YOU HOW CRAZY FREE SIGNINGS CAN GET AND WHY TO BE AT THESE SIGNINGS SO EARLY.1. ITS FREE AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PEOPLE LOVE FREE STUFF. 2. A NICE AUTOGRAPH THE FURTHER YOU ARE IN LINE, THE WEAKER THE AUTOGRAPH. 3.THE LATER YOU ARRIVE THE LESS CHANCE YOU HAVE TO GET AN AUTOGRAPH.4.ITS WHEN THE PERSON THAT IS SIGING FINDS OUT HOW EARLY YOU SHOWED UP TO BE FIRST! WOULD ALWAYS THANK YOU AND WOULD USUALLY TAKE PICTURES WITH YOU AND SIGN EVERYTHING YOU HAVE WITH YOU. AT LEASE I ALWAYS HAD THAT HAPPEN TO ME. AT FREE SIGINGS! YOU MIGHT SAY "BUT MY KIDS ARE TOO SMALL AND ITS TOO COLD TO TAKE THEM OUT THAT EARLY" THEN YOU GO AND HOLD YOUR SPOT IN LINE WHILE SOMEONE ELSE BRINGS YOUR KIDS ( NOT THE NEIGHBORS KIDS,YOUR FRIENDS KIDS,THE KIDS FROM SUNDAY SCHOOL...ect. PUT UP ALL YOUR CHAIRS AND LET THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU KNOW THAT YOUR KIDS WILL BE ARRIVING SHORTLY,AND IF THEY DONT LIKE IT, THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THERE BEFORE YOU! IF YOU NEVER CAME OUT TO AN AUTOGRAPH SIGNING EARLY IN THE MORNING. IT'S TRULY A LOT OF FUN AND NOT ONLY WILL YOU MEET NEW PEOPLE BUT YOU WILL FIND OUT ABOUT OTHER UP COMING EVENTS. SEE YOU IN THE LINES.
 MY DAUGHTER GOT TO MEET HER FAVORITE ANGELTORII HUNTER ON HER BIRTHDAY.
MY SON SCORING SOME AUTOGRAPHS FROM TORII HUNTER. THANKS TORII.
