This year was my first Phillies Phestival, but with some advice from one of the guys at the firehouse, I was able to come out VERY successful. My girlfriend got the ole #1 ticket (Utley) and I got Contreras/Baez. Her brother got Ibanez/Bastardo. Her brother was in the JRoll line, while my gf and I stood in the Werth/Howard line. Of course, the last howard ticket got scooped up 5-6 before me, so I had to run to the Victorino line, which was sold out 2-3 people before me! lol So I got another Ibanez/Bastardo, and my gf got Werth. The Werth line was RIDICULOUS! By the end of the night, My gf and I collected 13 graphs!
1-Jayson Werth ROMLB
1-Raul Ibanez-ROMLB
1-Antonio Bastardo ROMLB
1-Chase Utley ROMLB
1-Ryan Madson ROMLB
1-David Herndon ROMLB
1-Placido Polanco ROMLB
1-Carlos Ruiz ROMLB
1-Wilson Valdez ROMLB
1-Chad Durbin ROMLB
1-Ross Gload ROMLB
1-Jose Contreras ROMLB
1-Danys Baez ROMLB
Coolest sig: Raul Ibanez
Worst sig: Ross Gload- Guy was a straight up tool bag.
Best Moment: 13 graphs for $80!! Can't beat it...
Worst Moment: My gf brother is in line for JRoll. He gets to the table and hands JRoll the WBC USA jersey to sign. JRoll starts conversing with him about how he's never signed one of these before, and was excited to. My gf brother took a ROMLB (for me)with him incase JRoll was cool signing two items. JRoll asks him, "Hey you want me to sign the ball, too?" My gf brother says, "Sure, if you don't mind.." Then the lady who was working the table chimes in, " Excuse me, there's a long line. One item per person!" Jroll looks at her, looks at my gf brother, and says "Sorry man." That lady is definitely off my Christmas card list!
I also have a Victorino and Halladay bobblehead for sale. Best offer. PM me
