Ravens PSL Fan Forum

Last night Dave and I went to Merriweather Post Pavilion for the Baltimore Ravens PSL owner exclusive fan forum.  The forum featured Cheerleader appearances, Legends & New Coaches interviews by ESPN's Peter Schrager, Entertainment by Go Go Gadget,  A Photo Both with former players plus a super bowl trophy and the New uniform reveal with current players, plus at exit you received a pack of trading cards that where produced by the Ravens and featured the new uniform.  The only chance for autographs where the players at the photo booth once the photos ended and they where walking to back stage I was able to get 4 of the 6 alumni players and also got 4 Cheerleaders.  All in all better then I thought it would be as at this venue I assumed no access which was correct but the photos where in an open area and accessible.  See below for some pictures from the event and the autographs I was able to get a total of 9.

  1. Torrey Smith - a Card.
  2. Ray Rice - a Card.
  3. Edwin Mulitalo - a Card.
  4. Jimmy Smith - 2 Cards.
