As expected, the signing was tremendous. The crowd was nice in size and the flow of people getting autographs was very steady during the time that I was there. It was nice to see such a large turnout for this event since most sports fans in South Florida have been fixated on the Miami Heat for the last three weeks.
Anyway, I got to chat it up with a few fans while in line, and I am happy to report that Josh Johnson is extremely nice and courteous. He shakes hands, greets everyone, and seems genuinely happy to have the support of the local baseball fan.
And now, on to the good stuff – PICTURES!!!
Here I am with Josh
And finally, signed baseball #31 of my collection – autographed by arguably the best pitcher in the game!!!
Good times!!!
I have become friendly with the guy that runs this store in the mall, and if he is able to secure the next autograph event that he told me about, you are all in for a BIG surprise!!! Stay tuned…
Looks like a nice day out at the hobby store. I’m glad to hear that he’s a good guy. I don’t follow the Marlins much, but I’ve tried to keep up with J.J.
Nice one, Brian. Your ball collection keeps on getting better and better.
Good stuff.
moe.
Please keep us up to date on the next signer. If you are able I might be sending a ball your way to have signed for me, along with some more goodies for your collections in exchange.
