Johnny Grubb (88)
David Clay (84-85)
Mike Hubbard (00, 03)

Can anyone 50/50 any of these guys? I know I have a Sam Ayoub card I'd like to get signed if someone can take it.
 
LOL! I can definitely take Ayoub for you. Not sure what it's gonna be like, but I'm assuming there will be a signing session of some sort. I can take these guys:

Tommy Greene (88-90)
Shaun Fitzmaurice (69-73)
Harry Saferight (80-81)
Sam Ayoub (Trainer)
Chip Childress (87)
Johnny Grubb (88)
David Clay (84-85)
Mike Hubbard (00, 03)
Tommy Harrison (95-00)
 
PM me if you need somebody I will go depending on how much interest their is. I don't need any of them really. Maybe Javy for myself.
 
some of us have talked to the r-braves brass about doing an autograph session, and they said there will not be one. reason being these guys were invited and are coming on their own free will........they are not being paid, so they are not signing. that doesn't mean that they won't sign if you can catch them, only prob is at our piece of **** stadium, their town cars will drop them off in the tunnell and you won't be able to get to them. hopefully they sign a little down by the dugout.....i personally am going to the airport, lol.
 
Ballzy is right. Richmond will fack this up...guaranteed. There is no way that this thing is going to be good...I am taking my stuff but I dont expect to get anything - unless I track down Sam Ayoub in the stands.

Richmond....not getting it right....SHOCKER! I mean, come on - I understand Murph or Justice not signing for the whole stadium - but you couldnt have a table and have the guys rotate through for at least 15 minutes? How many people need Harry Saferight (besides us old schoolers of course)? Just goes to show you, Richmond sucks for autographs. NOTHING about that place is fan-friendly - brutal!

(And you wonder why the Braves are leaving - TAKE BRUCE WITH YOU!!!)

As a Richmond native this whole thing sucks. Dont get me started - my fondest childhood memories are of me and my family sitting in the cheap seats at Parker Field (before the Diamond was built) and my grandmother would smuggle in a cooler of RC cola for me and my brother to punish. Do they even make RC cola anymore?

War Dale Murphy at least taking a picture with my kids.
War Bruce Baldwin, new Gwinnett Braves GM.
War Richmond getting an Appy League team.
