Last Saturday, I went to Greensboro to cash in one of the rain out tickets I had. The Greasshoppers were playing the Brooklyn Cyclones, the Mets High A affiliate.
I was excited to get Konnor Griffin finally. The above 2025 Bowman insert came out of a blaster box I opened a couple hours before the game. Mom had picked the blaster up for me. I didn't have my baby powder with me to prep the card, so Mom had to hook me up with some corn starch from the kitchen. The corn starch worked.
I had a bunch of cards for Brooklyn. Everyone except Jesus Baez signed everything I had. Baez did 2 per pregame and then did 3 post game outside.
Nate Dohm inscribed one of his 2024 Bowman Draft cards with his nickname, Dohminator. Funny that I got Dohm and Baez, though, as they both were traded to the Cardinals in the Ryan Helsley trade today.
I was glad to get all of my Colin Houck cards signed. I had some nice stuff of him, but was afraid he would limit.
I got Griffin pregame and post game. Post game he ran with someone's black Sharpie. I didn't mind though. I picked up a 2025 Grasshoppers team set and got a couple cards from it signed.
I also got my sparkle parallel of Carlson Reed signed. He paused when he was signing and admired the card for a bit.
Finally, I knocked out a couple of my Lonnie White, Jr. cards. I didn't do too well with the team set, but I have some stuff for the next time I go.
In all, I got the following autographs: Jesus Baez x 5, Nate Dohm x 2, AJ Ewing x 5, Colin Houck x 8, Diego Mosquera x 3, Eli Serrano x 2, Marco Vargas x 4, Konnor Griffin x 2, Geovanny Planchart x 1, Shalin Polanco x 3, Carlson Reed x 6, Enmanuel Terrero x 5, Michael Walsh x 1, Lonnie White x 12 and Connor Wietgrefe x 1 (60 autographs).
