The next stop on my birthday week trip was up in Norfolk to try to get denied by Jackson Holliday again. My friend, Jordan, accompanied me on the trip. We did arrival in Norfolk, and did really well. I finally got this 2019 Bowman Chrome atomic refractor of Daz Cameron signed. It turned out great.
For the longest time on arrival, the Tides one perred me to death. Mike Baumann broke that streak, though, and signed everything i had. I finally got all of the team set cards if his that i had done.
I picked up a team set inside during the game, so I got some of those signed post game outside.
The biggest names i was able to get were Coby Mayo and Connor Norby. Norby signed everything I had, which was great.
Austin Voth also signed everything I had. He was super nice and seemed genuinely happy that Jordan and I were out there talking with him. Tyler Wells was also really nice.
I had brought this one 2019 Topps Orioles team card with me and got Wells to sign that, also.
This shimmer parallel from 2022 Topps that I got signed by Bruce Zimmermann was a pickup from the National, and it turned out great. Jordan pointed out that Zimmermann played at Mount Olive College, so we talked to Zimmermann about that, briefly.
Most of our trip was concentrated on Norfolk, but our seats were by the Memphis Redbirds dugout. I knew the Norfolk side would be a mess, so I brought a little bit of stuff for Memphis. We also got to see Thomas Saggese, who used to be a Wood Duck. He was nice enough to pose for a picture and asked about Chris. He remembered us.
Of course, we didn't see Jackson Holliday on arrival. Post game, outside, he went to the other side of the barricade, skipping Jordan and I (along with the other folks on our side), so, of course, I missed him again.
In all, I got the following autographs: Mike Baumann x 7, Anthony Bemboom x 1, Buck Britton x 1, Daz Cameron x 3, Lewin Diaz x 2, Kyle Dowdy x 1, Maverick Handley x 3, Josh Lester x 1, Chayce McDermott x 3, Coby Mayo x 2, Connor Norby x 6, Kyle Stowers x 1, Austin Voth x 8, Ryan Watson x 1, Tyler Wells x 4, Bruce Zimmermann x 1, Cesar Prieto x 1, Mike Siani x 1 and Juan Yepez x 2 (49 total autographs).
