Well this past weekend was up in the air. Mets had their final home series and the Marlins happened to be in Philly for their final series. I wanted to try to catch a game in each venue but weather changed things. I ended up just going to the finale in Philly, even though it was more important for me to graph at Citi.
Inside all I got was Chad Billingsley on 2 cards. There was no BP because they played a doubleheader but a few Phillies were out signing. Ichiro came out to warmup but unfortunately he never came over. At least it wasn't as crowded as at Citi few weeks ago. I did get a ball too, made a nice catch. I don't need no stinking glove. And at one point when I went to get a drink, a foul ball came a couple feet away from me lol. After the game I came close to getting a Marlins cap and some batting gloves. Ryan Howard actually came over to the Marlins dugout to throw his cap, jersey etc to us, I didn't really have a shot. But wow Citizens Bank is better than Citi in almost every aspect. After the game I decided to wait around for players as they left.

Broadcaster Preston Wilson 1/1
Adam Loewen 2/2
Pretty interesting game. Some hawk fell onto foul territory during the game and Ichiro made an appearance on the mound. As both teams were departing, I was unable to get Brett Butler, Kyle Barraclaugh & Derek Dietrich. I forgot I needed Bryan Morris on the 2014 and I couldn't get Lenny Harris's attention. From Philly I was close to getting Chase D'Arnaud and Aaron Nola. Will have to see what's next. Could graph this weekend, few former NY Giants in the area. Thanks for reading.
