I was there about 30 minutes and only saw 2 Revs players Stephen Penney and James Shanks which I didn't have anything for them to sign. But Brooks was the main reason I figured I'd stop by and see if he was accessible and as usual he was and in a great mood and looking good.

I was able to get through the line twice and got a card the first time and a postcard the second pictured above.  I got 2 free tickets to the Cleveland game on June 24th for my email address so they can vote for me 35 times for the all-star game. Also, was asked to take a picture with the bird that was used on tweeter.
