IP Chicago Cubs Autograph Recap at Wrigley Field 8/9/15 with Cal Ripken Jr!

Chicago, IL--- Well today was almost ruined but I fixed it kinda I only did Cubs Parking Lot and then Cal Ripken Jr. shows up by the Parking lot while I was out there and I had nothing for him so I call my dad over and over and over to get him to bring some cards of Cal. He does so we wait after the game by the broadcast booth and he is taking forever to leave so they kick us out of the Upper Deck so me and my dad take as absolutely long as possible to exit the stadium and we run into him and I end up getting him. I was so happy but security was pretty mean, who was with him. Here is what I got:

Daily total: 22

Kris Bryant: Never a bad day when you can get your favorite player when he isn't allowed to sign outside, that Fanatics contract is really kicking in huh?

Dave Martinez: Dave was actually nicer than usual but he still wasn't great but at least he signed. Thanks Dave!

Kyle Schwarber: Kyle signed one going in, he's becoming a pretty good signer compared to his old habits.

Clayton Richard: Clayton signed 2, first time I've seen him sign more than one for anyone and offered to hold my binder to get the cards out. Really nice guy!

Kyle Hendricks: Kyle is getting a lot harder but he is still very nice!

Manny Ramirez: This is the 5th time this season Manny has only signed for me! He was walking in on the phone he looked over and saw me and hung up his phone and signed my card then walked in the stadium, left like 50 people waiting. I don't know why but he sure loves me!

Cal Ripken Jr.: Wow! I got cal Ripken Jr. not the best experience, but I am glad it worked out! When I got there, there were all kinds of TBS Trucks by the parking lot and then Cal comes out, he goes beast mode about signing everything for everyone and I want to scratch my eyes out... I can't believe I am missing out, as you know I don't collect baseballs often so I didn't have one with me. Then he goes in I never felt so awful in my life I call my dad and he brings cards and we wait after the game by the broadcasters booth for him and he takes forever so they make us (me and my dad) leave and then we take forever to walk down from the upper deck... We get yelled at over and over to move faster and we just go so slow then we see him then I go up and ask him and a security guard wraps his arms around my body restraining me from him, meanwhile, Cal is reaching his arms out to grab my cards, he WANTS to sign but the Wrigley Field security and the TBS producer are just god awful then Cal says, let him walk with me so they do, I hand Cal 2 cards and my sharpie, he tests the sharpie out on his hand signs the first card, blows on it to make sure its dry, hands it back to me, signs the second card, blows on it, hands it back then waits for me to put the cards away, then shakes my hands and thanks me for waiting and apologizes for the hassle. What a guy!
