Staten Island

I went to Lancaster for pregame autographs mainly for Lucas Sims who they had signed recently but apparently his wife went into labor and he left the team.  I was able to get Wally Backman, Bernardo Flores Jr., Alfredo Gonzalez, Nick Decker & Blake Rutherford.  I have a couple 8x10's of Alfredo Gonzalez but forgot he had signed with them so didn't have them with me.  See a picture of the autographs below.

Guns N Roses & Public Enemy

Last night, Everett and I went to Hersheypark Stadium for the GnR Concert with Public Enemy as the opening act Public Enemy played about 50 minutes while GnR hit the stage at 7:45 and played until 11PM they played a total of 32 songs!
