Commanders @ Ravens

Last Friday night I went to the final Ravens Preseason game verse the Washington Commanders.  I went down early for pregame and stayed late after the game for post game autographs.  Basically the Ravens have shut down any and all autographing before and after the games out side the stadium which I had been doing since 1996.  I was able to get 18 players and 25 total autographs inside during warm ups before the game started,  The following is who and what I got signed and some pictures of my signed stuff and a couple from the game plus a horrible selfie with John Riggins as he wouldn't sign and was walking for picture.

2. LaJohntay Wester - 8x10.

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.

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!
