If you we're going to a Braves/mets game today and a Braves/Yankees game tomorrow for spring training, what would you bring to get signed? First time at spring training and would like some good man cave items. Get 1 player (Simmons, Heyward, etc) per ball? Or one ball for the team?

My strategy is to use my wife to fight the kids.

For easiness, I'd go one ball per team.

If you have a favorite player, go for a separate one.

Not trying to be a dick but I can't imagine trying to get autographs for players my age or younger now. Only autograph balls I have or when my uncle played for the Yankees in the early 80's. Ron Guidry, Don Baylor, Ken Griffey, Dave Winfield, Don Mattingly, Goose Gossage, etc

Have your wife get her tits signed. Always classy and you get to enjoy it later.

I hear ya, but for the man cave nothing is below me.


And to everyone else, she went to LSU so you had your chance to see her if you went there.

That actually should have been the original question, would you try to get anything signed?

Why would a "man", want some other man's signature? That's what little kids and groupies do.

The Braves don't have any legendary players that would make it worth the hassle of trying to get an autograph or to display in a man cave. I am a red sox fan, but getting a jersey or two signed by people like Jeter and Rivera at the Yankees game might be worth the trouble for a man cave display.

Very good point. I will reserve anything for if I see any of my 90's Braves rolling around.

Depends on how big of a Braves fan you are. I'd like to get Heyward or McCann's. Plus Chipper and Bobby Cox have been hanging around down there so maybe you can get theirs.

One per ball. A team signed ball only has collector value if the WHOLE team signs it.

Hobby Lobby and/or Michael's has a great nine-ball display case.

Good luck with that. Maybe he can catch Jesus Christ or Vince Lombardi on the way out of the stadium.

No. Unless you are a child.

Speak for yourself, i'd like to collect the entire 90's mullet/moustach collection.

We went back in '07 for a Braves/Yankees matchup midweek at Disney. It was packed. That being said, didn't plan on getting anything signed, but bought a ball at the gift shop. We ended up with Yogi Berra, Mattingly, Reggie Jackson, and the prize of it all.....Jeff Francouer. All on the same ball, which I was told was not cool. They had some people out there taking it pretty seriously.

I would shoot for photographs of you with ex-players that you were a big fan of growing up. I've never been to spring training but I would guess they would have some roaming around as assistant instructors or broadcasters.

That would look better on a wall versus a bunch of random things signed my people that could be on the Phillies or Mets a year from now.

my father gave me a boat load of 1960's St.Louis Cardinal stuff. And also had original bobble heads.

I either played with them(gibson signed ball, whole 64 team ball) or broke, tore, or lost them.

Since i never was able to see them play, i kind of get disgusted with what i did, but hell, i was 8 years old
