I collect autographs. I’m not a dealer or anything, just a hobby.

How hard are you wanting to go for autographs?

The back fields are always great for autographs. It will be mostly minor leaguers back there during practices, but there will always be MLB guys around. There's little keeping you from being next to all the guys, and if its minor leaguers, there wont be any security stopping you from being shoulder to shoulder with them.

Inside, get there when the gates open and head to the berm in left field. The cages are right behind the outfield, and you can get graphs from both teams, depending on who is back there. Dont try either dugout. You wont get anything worthwhile.

After the game, head back out to the practice fields to the field behind the main stadium, there is a fence next to the players parking lot and all guys will come out there.

I havent done too many other stadiums for graphs. What I do know is that dont go to Lakeland. There is no access anywhere for the Tigers or the visiting team. Never go to a Yankees or Red Sox game. It will be filled with northerners pushing and yelling. Not worth the time. Philly has the best set up of any team in the northern part of the Grapefruit League. Easy to get guys inside and outside.
