Eagles @ Ravens

Eric and I went to the Eagles Ravens preseason game last night.  The game was a usual first preseason game with almost none of the starters for either team actually playing or even dressing for the game.  We went down a little early to try and see if we could maybe get a couple Eagles autographs but the 3 my son wanted for his wife DeJean, Barkley & Hurts didn't sign even though none played.  I was able to get 11 autographs 2 from Rod Woodson, 2 from Aaron Moorehead, 1 from Connor Barwin, 1 From Zack Baun and then 5 Ravens cheerleader postcards.  In addition to the autographs I was able to get Ravens Nick Dawkins headband after the game.  See some pictures below.

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.
