IP Chicago Cubs vs. Miami Marlins + a Hall of Famer at Wrigley Field Autograph recap on the 4th of July 7/4/15

Chicago, IL--- Today looked like it was going to be a bust because I couldn't find the Marlins hotel but then I got to the stadium and I graphed players coming in on the bus and in cabs and I got a few Marlins but when I got in the stadium I got a few more and some I have wanted for a long time. I got a lot of Cubs post game but security was really tight because everyone was allowed to stay in the stadium for the post game firework show so a lot of guys signed one or none at all. And I got Ryan Dempster during the game he was on the concourse and I got Smoltz after the game, I am glad I brought the card I didn't even realize it was a FOX game so it turned out pretty good I like getting Hall of Famers. Here is what I got:

Daily Total: 24

Clayton Richard: Clayton made his Cubs Debut today and wouldn't sign when he got off of his van to enter the stadium but after the game he signed for me and another kid, he would have skipped me if I didn't have his card he didn't want to sign. He pitched a great game too!

Tsuyoshi Wada: Tsuyoshi signed one after the game which is funny because hes always signed everything I have but he had a mean security guard with him who told him not to sign at all but he did so thanks Tsuyoshi!

Manny Ramirez: Manny always hooks it up for me every time he sees me he has a big smile on his face and he always signs for me, never turned me down ever and this is a really cool card too so I am happy to get this done and I know he doesn't have a good signature but this is a better one. Thanks Man Ram!

Ryan Dempster: Ryan signed 5/5 for me when I was walking around during the 9th inning I just saw him standing there and he signed all my cards and was extremely nice as usual, one of the nicest most generous players to ever put on a Cubs uniform. Thanks Ryan!

John Smoltz: I got John after the game in which he broadcasted for FOX I saw him come down the stairs from the broadcast booth and he signed my card and it is a really cool jersey card!

Lenny Harris: Lenny signed 2 for me down the line in the stadium really nice guy and he was a former Cub I believe. Thanks Lenny!

Dan Haren: Dan said he wouldn't sign outside the stadium for me so when I got in the stadium he just saw me and came right over we just made eye contact I didn't even ask him he just came over and signed 3 cards for me which was super cool because I have wanted him for a very long time so this is great!

Christian Yelich: Christian signed two for me outside of the stadium I've always liked him and the way he played the game, thanks for signing Christian!

A.J. Ramos: A,J. signed one outside the stadium he signed only a few total so I'm happy to get him. Thanks A.J.
