This week, the Lynchburg Hillcats came back to Kinston to one per me to death. I had picked up some cards off of Ebay of Wood Ducks coach, Jorge Cortes. The above 2005 Bowman Heritage relocation card was a cool pickup that I was able to get signed. Even Cortes commented on how cool the card was.
I had also gotten Cortes's 2004 Bowman and 2004 Bowman gold, along with a Hillcats team set card.
It turned out that former Wood Duck, James Jones, was in town as a roving instructor for the Rangers. I got a couple of his cards signed, once I dug them out of my boxes.
The Hillcats were rough. Juan Benjamin did one-per, so it took me some time and a little help from Jesse to get the cards i brought of him signed. Angel Genao is now personalizing, but he was super nice about it. He seems like a really nice kid. Ralphy Velazquez was hard to get a read on. He seems genuinely miserable about being here one day, then super nice the next, followed by absolutely miserable again. Who knows what the deal was. I only had one card of him, so I didn't have to ask much of him.
The series was close all-around, topped off by a walk-off win in extras today. We had a good time this week, even though graphing was a bit tough.
In all, we got the following autographs: Jorge Cortes x 4, Gleider Figuereo x 6, Alejandro Rosario x 3, Alex Clemmey x 6, Angel Genao x 7, Tommy Hawke x 3, Juan Benjamin x 3, Jaison Chourio x 6, Christian Knapczyk x 3, Ralphy Velazquez x 1, James Jones x 3 and Jose Pastrano x 2 (47 total autographs).
