How Do You Get An Autograph At Spring Training?
Something that makes spring training baseball so attractive to fans and sports collectors is the ease of getting autographs. Players are more relaxed during spring training, and the fans are able to get closer to them in the smaller setting. Spring training is prime time for getting those coveted autographs if you follow a few simple rules. Visit spring training in February, before the teams start playing games. Their schedules consist of all-day workouts and batting practice, and most teams open these workouts to fans. It is free to visit the stadium on these workout days, and the players are more accessible during this time than when they are playing games. Arrive to games early. Players are more likely to sign autographs before the game and as they’re moving to and from their pre-game activities. They are not going to sign during the game, so make sure you’re there during batting practice and warm-ups. Be prepared. In addition to the item you want signed, bring a permanent ink pen.
