RECAP FROM THE DENNIS RODMAN SIGNING AT OC SPORTS CARDS

FIRST OFF LET ME SAY "OMG... GARY PAYTON WAS RIGHT" WHAT A CHARACTER DENNIS RODMAN IS. IF YOU HAVE NEVER MET DENNIS RODMAN. I HOPE YOU DONT GET EASILY OFFENED. YOU JUST MIGHT HEAR DENNIS SAY SOMETHING AND YOU'LL ASK YOURSELF "DID I JUST HEAR, WHAT I THINK I HEARD" AND THE ANSWER IS YES! DENNIS RODMAN WAS... VERY ENTERTAINING. HE HAD ME LAUGHING. THE THINGS HE WOULD SAY WOULD MAKE YOU RAISE YOUR EYEBROWS. TO MAKE IT SHORT, HIS COMMENTS WERE OFF THE WALL LOL. I ARRIVED TO THE OC SPORTS CARDS AROUND 12:15pm WITH MY FAMILY. WHEN I WALKED IN THE SHOP I WAS GREETED BY SANTA CLAUS. THATS RIGHT SANTA CLAUS WAS THERE AS WELL. I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN SANTA MY CHRISTMAS LIST WHILE I WAS THERE, NEXT TIME. ANYWAYS I TOOK MY SI MAGAZINE OF DENNIS RODMAN (AS A LAKER) TO GET SIGNED. I EVEN GOT THAT HOF 2011 ON IT. THERE WAS FANS STILL IN LINE AND THERE WAS FANS THAT HAD ALREADY GOT THERE ITEMS SIGNED, SO THEY WERE JUST WAITING AROUND TO TAKE PHOTOS. PROBABLY HOPING TO GET A PHOTO TO SELL TO TMZ...LOL

THE FANS KEPT COMING AND YOU NEVER KNEW WHAT DENNIS RODMAN WAS GOING SAY TO THEM. NOT ALL THE FANS WERE THIS LUCKY TO GO BEHIND THE COUNTER AND GET THIS CLOSE AND PERSONAL. LETS JUST SAY THAT THEY HAVE A STORY TO TELL, ABOUT THE TIME THEY MET DENNIS RODMAN AT OC SPORTS CARDS.

THE NEW HALL OF FAMER "DENNIS THE MENACE" SIGNING WAS AWESOME. FANS BROUGHT BASKETBALLS,JERSEYS, PHOTOS OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND BASKETBALL CARDS TO GET SIGNED BY DENNIS "THE WORM" RODMAN. A MUST HAVE AUTOGRAPH!

DENNIS RODMAN WOULD STOP AT TIMES TO TALK ABOUT THE PHOTOS THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO SIGN. ONE PHOTO THAT CAUGHT RODMANS ATTENTION. WAS A PHOTO OF RODMAN IN A LAKERS UNIFORM AND FORMER TEAMMATE SCOTTIE PIPPEN IN THE HOUSTON ROCKETS UNIFORM. DENNIS RODMAN SAID TO ONE FAN " THATS ME BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW THIS GUY IS? THE FAN SAID " SCOTTIE PIPPEN" RODMAN SAID " YUP! THATS SCOTTIE F$!KIN PIPPEN". LOL

OVERALL THIS WAS A GREAT SIGNING AT OC SPORTS CARDS. THIS APPEARANCE IS ONE I WILL NEVER FORGET AND GLAD I WENT. I HAVE NEVER MET DENNIS RODMAN BEFORE. I HAVE ONLY SAW HIM IN PERSON A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE LAST TIME I SAW DENNIS RODMAN WAS IN PASADENA. HE WAS COMING OUT OF A RALPHS SUPER MARKET. THATS WHEN RODMAN WAS IN THAT TV SHOW CELEBRITY REHAB WITH DR.DREW PINSKY. DENNIS RODMAN WAS IN SEASON 3 OF CELEBRITY REHAB. ANYWAYS THE FANS THAT I HAD A CHANCE TO TALK WITH REALLY ENJOYED MEETING DENNIS RODMAN AND SO DID I. THIS WAS THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR ME. DENNIS RODMAN WAS AN AWESOME PLAYER TO WATCH. ON SATURDAY I SAW MARK LANGSTON, WALLY JOYNER AND MARK TRUMBO OVER AT THE OC DUGOUT. SO YA I SCORD BIG ON AUTOGRAPHS THIS WEEKEND. THANKS TO ALL THE GUYS AND GIRLS OVER AT THE OC DUGOUT AND OC SPORTS CARDS FOR PUTTING ON SOME REALLY AWESOME EVENTS FOR US FANS. CANT WAIT TO SEE WHO YOU BRING IN FOR NEXT YEAR. IF YOU MISSED OUT ON ANY OF THESE SIGNINGS OVER THE WEEKEND. THE OC DUGOUT AND OC SPORTS CARDS HAVE PLENTY OF ITEMS FOR SALE. TILL NEXT TIME, I'LL SEE YOU IN THE AUTOGRAPH LINES.

RECAP FROM THE TRUMBO,JOYNER AND LANGSTON SIGNING AT THE OC DUGOUT.


WHILE THERE WAS ABOUT 5,000 HALO HONKS AT THE ALBERT PUJOLS AND CJ WILSON PRESS CONFERENCE. I WAS WITH MANY OTHER HALO HONKS AT THE OC DUGOUT. I ARRIVED TO THE OC DUGOUT AROUND 10AM AND I SEEN ABOUT 5 PEOPLE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES. I MEAN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT "TRUMBOMB","WALLY WORLD", AND LANGSTON. WHERE IS EVERYONE... OH YEAH, AT THE BIG A. ABOUT 10:30AM THE CROWD CAME. SOME OF THEM SAID THAT IT WAS A MAD HOUSE OVER AT THE BIG A. SOME OF THEM WERE ABLE TO MAKE BOTH EVENTS. EITHER WAY I WAS HAPPY THAT I DECIDED TO GOTO THE OC DUGOUT. ME AND MY SON GOT TO HANG OUT AND EVEN HELP AT THE OC DUGOUT. ME AND MY SON GOT TO SIT WITH MARK LANGSTON. WE EVEN GOT TO JOKE WITH "TRUMBOMB" ABOUT SOME EGGNOG  LOL... INSIDE JOKE.


BY 10:45 THERE WAS A GREAT CROWD THAT CAME FOR THE SIGNING. MARK TRUMBO WAS FIRST TO ARRIVE, AND THE FANS WERE EXCITED! WALLY JOYER SHOWED UP SECOND AND MARK LANSTON WAS LAST.

MARK TRUMBO DIDN'T WASTE ANY TIME AND WENT STRAIGHT TO WORK. TRUMBO STARTED WITH ITEMS THAT FANS LEFT WITH THE OC DUGOUT TO HAVE SIGNED. THATS ONE OF THE OC DUGOUT'S GREAT SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDES. FOR FUTURE SIGNINGS THAT YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND, THIS IS ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN STILL SCORE ON AUTOGRAPHS.


 MARK LANGSTON WAS GREAT. FANS WOULD WALK UP TO THE TABLE AND TALK ABOUT HOW LANGSTON WAS THEIR FAVORITE PLAYER AS A KID AND HOW HE WOULD TRADE HIS NOLN RYAN CARDS FOR LANGSTON CARDS. THATS A TRUE LANGSTON FAN.

 FANS OF ALL AGES CAME OUT TO SEE "WALLY WORLD" A WALLY JOYNER AUTOGRAPH IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY ANGELS FAN. NOT ONLY DID JOYNER SIGN AUTOGRAPHS, HE TALK TO ALL THE FANS AS IF HE KNEW THEM. THATS HOW WELCOME JOYNER MADE EVERYONE FEEL. WHAT A GREAT GUY.

BEFORE MARK LANGSTON LEFT. LANGSTON WAS TALKING ABOUT BASEBALL. GIVING TIPS ON PITCHING TO CO-OWNER BRIAN'S YOUNGER BROTHER. I HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME HANGING OUT WITH MARK LANGSTON AND TALKING ABOUT THE PRESS CONERFENCE. MARK LANGSTON EVEN GAVE MARK TRUMBO A SMALL TIP. LANGSTON SAID " HEY MARK WHEN YOU SIGN A BIG CONTRACT, MAKE SURE TO TAKE OFF YOUR SUNGLASSES WHEN TALKING TO THE MEDIA" LANGSTON WAS REEFERING TO CJ WILSON.




THE BIG TALK DURING THE EVENT WAS MARK TRUMBO AND THE TRADE RUMOR. WHERE IS MARK TRUMBO GOING? SOME FANS ASK TRUMBO THEMSELVES, AND EVEN GAVE TRUMBO THERE OWN THOUGHTS TO THE RUMORS... JUST RUMORS.IT WOULD BE A MISSTAKE TO TRADE TRUMBOMB. TRUMBO CAN LEARN FROM PUJOLS AND CONTINUE TO BE A BEAST. OVER ALL THIS EVENT WAS ADDED TO MY LIST OF ALL TIME GREAT SIGNINGS. EITHER WAY WHETHER YOU WERE AT THE BIG A OR THE OC DUGOUT IT WAS A GREAT DAY FOR ALL US ANGELS FANS! TILL NEXT TIME, I'LL SEE YOU IN THE AUTOGRAPH LINES.
