April 7, 200521 yr When I entered the park today, I went over by the Giants dugout, looking to get some autographs...I'm trying to get as many players as I can to sign my media guide So i get a few players and coaches, as well as Jon Miller, and then Bonds comes out of the clubhouse, so I ask for his autograph, thinking that there would be no chance he would sign but it wouldn't hurt to ask, and he said "when I get back". Almost always when a player says that, they don't come back and sign, so I was thinking oh well, then a couple minutes later, Barry comes back to dugout, walks right up to where me and a bunch of others are standing, and signs my media guide...he then proceeds to sign some more autog After I got the autograph, I was literally shaking...people were looking at me like I was wierd because I was walking around, staring at my media guide with my mouth wide open. In the last two days, I got the following autographs: Omar Vizquel Moises Alou Barry Bonds Joe Morgan Jon Miller Chris Berman Ray Durham Armando Benitez Noah Lowry Scott Eyre Matt Herges Tyler Walker Jason Ellison Deivi Cruz Pedro Feliz And a few of the Giants coaches
April 7, 200521 yr i was about to congratulate you on striking up some bling....but a media guide? c'mon, i'm sure you coulda bought a baseball off some dumb kid.

April 7, 200521 yr Author i was about to congratulate you on striking up some bling....but a media guide? c'mon, i'm sure you coulda bought a baseball off some dumb kid. 732370[/snapback] it's not like I would ever sell it...how often does one get a chance to have something personally autographed by Barry Bonds...for free nonetheless I don't collect autographs for monetary value anyways
April 7, 200521 yr i was about to congratulate you on striking up some bling....but a media guide? c'mon, i'm sure you coulda bought a baseball off some dumb kid. 732370[/snapback] The media guide could be worth a lot if it's a 2005 media guide and Barry breaks Hank Aaron's record during the 2005 season, and if he get's it authenticated by PSA/DNA of course.

April 7, 200521 yr You'd sell that if you were smart, that's worth A TON of money. 732522[/snapback] Yeah, but it's easier for you to part with something like that -- you're not a fan of Bonds or the Giants. I'm sure it means too much to BDiddy to consider selling right now. BDiddy... congrats.
April 7, 200521 yr That awesome, congrats! I think it's safe to say Barry is the hardest current auto. to get in baseball I'd love to see pic's if you get a chance
April 7, 200521 yr You'd sell that if you were smart, that's worth A TON of money. 732522[/snapback] It probably wouldn't top $75 unless he had it authenticated by PSA/DNA. And also like I said above, the only way it's going to really be worth a lot and I mean a LOT is if Barry breaks the record in 2005, it'll be tough to sell a 2005 Barry Bonds signed media guide if he breaks the record in 2006 or even 2007. But it's obvious he doesn't care about selling it and will probably treasure it forever because it sounds like it was an awesome experience, so all this is moot.
April 7, 200521 yr Pretty nice man.... where were you exactly? Just by the duggout? Did you have special seats/tickets?

I'm sure it means too much to BDiddy to consider selling right now. BDiddy... congrats. 732673[/snapback] True, good point. I could have probably sold my ticket to the Illinois/Arizona game for around a grand, but would never have even thought of doing it.
