Mike and I went to the annual Orioles winter Fanfest since he is a partial season ticket holder we were able to get early entry tickets for 10 am.  I purchased 1 autograph table which was for the Trey Mancini group.  That was my second choice as my 1st was a Manny Machado glad I wasn't able to get that one as he was a NO SHOW also Schoop was a no show I think this says a lot about the organization as the 2 best players are no shows for the team fanfest???  also not there was Chris Davis as he and his wife just had twins so...

Lou Saucedo

I did a rare for me TTM which Was returned today.  I found Lou Saucedo online and exchanged some emails with him he was very nice and agreed to sign whatever I needed.  I sent him a couple blank 3x5 and a 4x6 picture.  Lou was a need from my Ravens collection as he was on Injured Reserve for the entire 2009 season so although he never appeared in a Ravens game, but I count the IR guys that were on for the entire season.

Quincy Adeboyejo

I purchased this Quincy Adeboyejo Autographed card to fill a need in the Ravens collection I didn't get Quincy this season and for less then $2.00 delivered I figured was an easy way to cross him off the list.
