Live From Spring Training: Day 1

I'll be at Port St. Lucie for the rest of the week, doing some live blogging and photo-taking from camp. My twitter feed, now in the right sidebar, will hopefully feature funny anecdotes about my trip throughout the day.

Unfortunately I won't be in the locker room with a camera man, but I may or may not have brought a metsblog t-shirt and a fake ID, so fingers crossed. Instead, I'll mostly look for funny picture opportunities and a Josh Thole interview. I also found a hermetically sealed official Major League baseball in my room, so I might try and get an autograph.  Whose? I'll nominate a few and let you guys vote. I should mention that in my younger days I secured the coveted Mike Piazza signature. No challenge is too great.

Autograph

Print a copy of that picture I photoshopped and see if you can get the Gangsta to sign it.

LOL

I think Reyes’ will be the most valuable and memorable when it’s all said and done. Also, remember that no chewing gum, sunflower seed pit, or arm hair is too mundane. Remember Gonzo’s gum that went for $10,000?

Damn it!

That’s exactly what I had in mind when I voted for other.

Beat me to it.
