From the looks of things, graphing is going to be the only good thing baseball-wise for me this summer. The Orioles are shit, so I'll save money and just concentrate on MiLB and soon Frontier League games instead of wasting my money on a bad MLB team. Yeah, I said it. They're poised to be BAD. Anyway, I saw their Low A team take on the Mudcats in my first trip to Five County Stadium since 2021. I was able to get Jesus Made (above) on the Brewers team card.
I got most of the Delmarva cards I brought. I had help from Jesse and his brother Landon. Braylin Tavera did only one per for us. I should have handed Landon a card to get one more Tavera out of the box, but it's whatever. We also missed Jacob Cravey, but had gotten him in the past so it wasn't a big deal.
I missed several Mudcats last year, like Eric Bitonti. His 2024 Topps Pro Debut got done, as well as his 2023 Bowman Draft.
Braylon Payne was really nice. I got everything signed that I brought for the Mudcats.
Bryce Meccage was really cool as well. I happened to look him up and saw him as he was coming off the field after Friday fireworks. I got lucky and we got everything signed.
The big hits were the Mini Muddy and Muddy the Mudcat cards I finally got out of my boxes. With the Mudcats leaving after this season, I wanted to get all of these signed.
I know it's goofy to get mascot autographs but hey, it gets the cards into the album.
In all, we got the following autographs: Chase Allsup x 2, Maikol Hernandez x 15, Braylin Tavera x 2, Eric Bitonti x 5, Jesus Made x 2, Bryce Meccage x 4, Braylon Payne x 5, Muddy x 4 and Mini Muddy x 2 (41 total autographs).
