I'm taking four 8year old teammates to a Yankees/Astros game this weekend and it's my first time at minutemaid. I'd appreciate any tips on the experience. We're planning on getting there early to watch BP and hope to get a pic with Bregman. Is this possible and if so, what should we do to improve our chances? Any other things we should try to do?

TIA

Game Day Tour

Maybe wear an LSU ball cap and get his attention.

Or have the kids make a sign. Cute kids always get free stuff

Experience doing it recently would probably be helpful, right?

Try not to catch any douchebaggeryitis from the resident Tejas bandwagon fans.


And ... have a great time. Be safe. Big city.

After the game stand as close to their dugout as you can.

Get one of the kids to cry, and then ask for the autograph.

Make kid wear an LSU shirt.

Have the kids make an LSU colored sign saying "Bregman, can you bang our mommies?"

There is pretty much 0% chance this happens...went to the Angels game earlier this year with some kids.... you can go down close to dugout, but they really pay no attention... you do have opportunities to catch some pregame BP homeruns, thats really it... every now and then some random players (had no idea who they were, had to look them up) would sign a couple of autographs

The kids will love the ice cream in the plastic Astros cap. It's relatively cheap, compared to the other overpriced items.

PS: No bad seats, nice crowd.

After the game go around the side of the stadium where the players exit. They will stop and sign autographs. You will have to stand close to the road. Its best after a day game.

Sit them so you can catch line drives headed your way if you are down the line.

Go stand down by the first-base dugout on the Outfield side. All the players including bregman come out and warm up right there and fans line up along the wall and get autographs.
