Guest ShaqandWade323 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Insane story. I'm driving along with my sister and we're at a stop light and I look around and I see a nice Porsche so I look to see who's driving it and it's Niner so I yell out his name but he didn't hear me. I kept telling my sister to follow him and he turned into Bed, Bath, and Beyond so we pulled into an alley next to it and I ran through bushes with a piece of looseleaf paper and a pen and searched all over the place and finally spotted him, it seemed like no one noticed him but me so I mustered up the courage to go up to him and ask for an autograph for my dad for Christmas (he's a huge Marlins and Niner fan), he gladly autographed the paper after I politely asked him (lol) and I told him good luck in Baltimore and that the fans will miss him, he just smiled and said thanks (first time I've seen him smile, lol) and we parted ways. Great guy, hard to approach since he looks stern all the time but he was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiambiNYY25Fan Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 That is pretty sweet dude.... like 5 years ago he was signing autographs at a sports fair in broward and I had just missed him signing at the booth, but I was the only one who followed him after he got up... he ended up going into the restroom and I waited outside for him lol, and I got him on a card.

MarlinFan10 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I saw Conine at the Disney Store in Coral Square Mall last offseason. I didn't really want to bother him, so I just wished him luck next season without asking for an autograph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndLine Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I've had so many chances to meet Jeff but I haven't! Three years ago Jeff(Oriole at the time) went to my mother's work in broward... to go to the bathroom. He asked my mom for the restroom keys and my mom just stood there and didn't have the courage to ask him anything. And just recently Jeff showed up again at my mom's lumber mill and this time he wanted supplies for you know what... Conine's Clubhouse Grill. No autograph =[ No picture =[ Funny though, I went to Bed Bath and Beyond today to buy some gift certificates for the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ShaqandWade323 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 What time did you go? I got the autograph around 4 or 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I got him to sign a card for me when I went to see a Marlins/Orioles game in Ft. Lauderdale during 05 ST. He made sure that every person asking received at least one autograph. He was very good about the whole thing. Class act period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bman8316 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I saw him at gameworks once over the summer. My friends and I were behind him in line and I had first walked by him and thought he looked familar but didnt say anything but then my friend who isnt really a baseball fan but has come to games with me turned to me and was like isnt that Conine and then the Big Dog said whats up and I didnt know what to say. He was there with his son so we didnt want to bother him but my friend did take a picture with his phone of Conine playing skee ball.
