Steelers @ Ravens December 27, 2015

My son and I went to the Ravens-Steelers game today, with the Ravens at 4-10 I wasn't expecting much and was really hoping to sweep the Steelers and keep them out of the playoffs. The Ravens got the early lead and hung on for a 20-17 win and with wins by the Chiefs and Jets this may just get the Steelers to watch the playoffs from home which works for me!  We went down to the stadium when it opened to try to get some Steeler autographs and then stayed after the game doing the victorious Ravens.  Here is what we got.

Merry Christmas and a Flyers Santa Sack!

As part of a Christmas present to my son a Flyers Santa Sack to the Boston Bruins January 13th game, this Sean Couturier Autographed puck with him being a Bruins fan I got to keep the puck. The game should be fun as it is part of NBCSN NHL's Rivalry night he will be wearing his Bruins Tuuka Rask Jersey and i'm sure to be wearing some Flyers gear!

Sean Couturier signed puck!

Seattle Seahawks @ Baltimore Ravens 12/13/2015

I had sold my season tickets for this game but with it being moved from the Sunday night game to a 1 pm game I bought back into the game.  Good thing it was moved because this was an awful game finished 35-6 and it wasn't that close as Luke Wilson dropped a sure wide open TD and then the Hawks fumbled the ball on the Ravens 5 yard line.  After the third quarter I moved to my season tickets seats as the stadium was empty this made it possible to see the highlight of the game which was watching Jimmy Smith lose his mind and go off on a guy 2 rows behind me, the guy was yelling that Smith can't cover anyone and Jimmy walked toward the stands and yelled at him "to meet me out back and I'll F@#& you up!"  Then the really funny thing was that Jimmy must have went to security because a stadium official came over and issued a warning to the fan!  would have loved to have had video running on that, this is not the 1st time I have seen Jimmy lose it he did it a couple weeks ago for the same reason outside the stadium when your getting paid maybe you should do your job just a thought.   I did autographs pre and post game here is who and what I got signed. .

Orioles Fan Fest

On Saturday December 12th Mike and I went to the day long annual event.  the main draw for me is the autographing,  We got one free table of players (Caleb Joseph, Brad Brach & Trey Mancini) with Mike's season tickets and early entry to event and then I purchased another table (Jonathan Schoop, Nolan Reimold & Mike Wright) for the $20 fee with all proceeds going to Orioles charities.  The rest of the autographing is purely by chance based who you see walking around and if they actually want to sign some do some don't. all in all a pretty good day but very long like 10 hours total standing on concrete.  Final numbers are 29 players for 54 total autographs.  The Following is a breakdown of who I got and how I got them.

Terrence Magee

I purchased this nice looking super thick 2015 Panini Immaculate Rookie Ink # RI-TM #'d 52/99 of Terrence Magee was a good deal on Ebay was $1.29 including the shipping.

Joe Morgan

I made my annual trip to the VF Outlet for there tent sale. This years guest signer was Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Morgan you get the picture that the outlet provides which is usually a nice photofile 8x10 this year it was what looked like a collage (See Below) that they put together.  Joe was in a Philadelphia Phillies uniform would have preferred a Cincinnati Reds uni but whatever.  Joe was very nice, taking pictures talking with everyone and signing but no inscriptions, I asked for "HOF" and Joe said no and someone else I knew their asked for "83 World Champs" and also got a no. The crowd was not what I thought it would be for one of the greats of the game and I was able to get through the line a couple of times and was able to get a personalized photo for a buddy who was unable to make it. As for the tent sale I won a $25 gift card and with it, I purchased a Black Philadelphia Flyers Hoodie and  Cliff Lee Phillies jersey in addition to the regular clothes I purchased prior to winning the card, with any purchase of more then $25 they gave you a DeMarco Murray unsigned 8x10.  A side note to the free 8x10. I think there is a curse with who they giveaway the last 2 guys were sent packing from the Eagles before the next season LeSean McCoy 2 years ago and then Nick Foles last year so look for Murray to be somewhere else next year!?! lol.
