I will be going to spring training to see the marlins and was wondering if they are easy to get autographs from ... or anyone know any tips on how to get them in Jupiter? Any info will be great.

Do you think similar results will be at spring training... meaning mobs of people there like at fanfest?

Just got back... the autograph line was insane!!! I waited 2 hours each time I went on that line and the last session was the most disappointing to me... I waited 2+ hours and I ended up in line with Jeff Loria... that was A, Mckeon was in B and I had my mom get me his auto, and in C was Burnett. I went to the 2nd session I believe, and that was A, Conine, B, Lowell, and C, Gonzalez. I got all 3 because my family split up. My knees are shot and I think I'm going to bed now.

I'd like to meet Beckett again, I really only got to skid my clipboard and card across the duggout to him and say good luck. I'm sure he will accept all praise and compliments after his WS performance, I think it depends on the place and time when you meet players.

Beckett was a nice guy so was AJ Burnett... AJ climbed out of the bullpen and into the first row to sign for fans at a game vs. Braves early in the season. Conine has always been nice as well.

I'd have to say that Juan Pierre was the nicest Marlin I met... I met him about a few weeks ago at the Office Depot Grand Opening in Pembroke Pines. He signed a ball and photo each for my brother and I. He also signed my brother's mini bat. He took photos with everybody there and was just laughing it up and having a great time. I also had Wayne Rosenthal over my house this past season since our families are friends... He was a very nice guy and told a lot of interesting stuff I didn't know, like what they do before games in the back, how early they have to get there, etc.

I hope I can add a good Marlin or two atleast to my collection... I'd like to get Dontrelle on a ball or 8x10 and the same with Lowell... is it possible for those 2 to be signing at FanFest?

I'm not too sure what I'll be doing yet... I'm going with my family and my main goal is to get some nice signatures of my favorite marlins... I also am friends with Wayne Rosenthal, so I'd like to find him and congratulate him on his Championship. Also, I'd like to do the tours even though I had done it once before when I played at Pro Player with my baseball team.

Thats awesome... thanks for the info

Hey this will be my first fanfest and am looking forward to it... I like to collect marlins autographs and have had no luck at their games so I am hoping that the big names are there... any info on who will most likely be there?

Thanks a lot, that helps.... but if the caravan will have Lowell, Pierre, Willis, Gonzalez ... wouldn't it be likely they'd showup to fanfest? Where would they be signing at fanfest... do they have something set up under the tents?

Hey this will be my first fanfest. Just wanted to know if all players on the team sign autographs or about half or a select few sign... is it likely that no star players sign autographs at fanfest or is there a good chance Pierre, Willis, Lowell, etc... will be there? Thanks
