Redsfest signings

[bowles8]

Some were staying at the Millenium Hotel a few years ago when I was able to make the trip (which is where I stayed)...Was able to get several down in the lobby while I was waiting to head over....The bad thing about the trip was that I went by myself..I could not find anyone else to go with me...Our daughter was still fairly young, so the wife stayed at home with her, otherwise I could have done alot better, but I was able to get who I went for and it was worth the 5 hour trip up there....Man, I wish that I could be there....

Im thinking most will stay either there or at the Hyatt, being that they are right next to the Duke Energy Center. But, again, the Hilton, Cincinnatian and the Westin are all not that far, 2 blocks at the most.

Well, good luck to both of you boys.....GO REDS and WEAR 'EM OUT!!!!!

[jj cool]

Wow. I am very disappointed in that list so far. Hopefully they will keep adding onto it. I certainly hope more than just that show up for the fans and sign autographs. Seems like its almost all pitchers so far. Hopefully people like Harang, Dunn (maybe Bailey, Votto, Deno) etc. turnout!

I know both Harang and Dunn's wives are expecting a child so they may have other things on their mind. Has Griffey ever shown up unexpectedly?

if does, that is how he will do it..kj

Unfortunately , I will definitely be going to Redsfest. I say unfortunately because I would rather be somewhere else (Not that I dont want to go to Redsfest though!). Anyways, yes Griffey has made surprise appearances. I think it was the very last Redsfest when Griffey came unannounced and signed for like 100 kids!

Another update (just a few additions):

YIPEE! Very happy about Concepcion, as he is one of 2 guys I still need to have a signed baseball of everyone on the BRM! (Need him and Geronimo).
