Nos' Three Sport Shindig : CHAT

Did you guys know Shawn Bradley is paralyzed?
 
First place I ever saw a baseball game. It was quite a few years after this picture was taken though, this looks mid 60's

I once got an autograph when I was maybe 13-14 from Arvydas Sabonis. Actually got the whole Blazers teams autograph at the time. My friends dad had a plug at a local college where the Blazers were practicing before playing the Warriors.

Standing next to him it was like standing next to a giant. Tallest person I've ever stood next to in my life.

On a side note my friend came unprepared and just had index cards instead of playing cards for autographs. He went up to another Blazer player (name redacted) said "Nah, I don't sign paper...." and just walked away. LOL.

I think one of the tallest guys I stood next to was Chris Mihm. It was before a Cavs game, when they were really shit, and I got a bunch of the guys autographs. It was like Tractor Traylor, Chris Mihm, Trajan Langdon... a bunch of slapdicks basically but still a good experience. I was around the same age 11-12.
 
I’m watching the Manti Te’o documentary. Looking back, it’s so crazy
 
I've never understood autographs...

It's more about meeting your favorite player then showing all your friends you got their autograph. Just a cool experience. Put that autograph on the right piece and it can be worth a lot.

Lame, I met a lot of famous athletes, well maybe not a lot but I never once asked them to sign anything, i'm a weird fucker I guess. I am more about enjoying the moment than enjoying the memory.

I only did it a couple times. Only planned it once. The time at the Cavs game was just lucky, got there early and the players were right there signing.

The time I planned it, we had the best seats we ever had at an Indians game on the 3rd base side and I knew Lofton would sign autographs every game so I brought his rookie card. He was my favorite player so it was just different. Went to a ton of games but only did it once.

I've met a lot of athletes also and I actually haven't gotten any autographs from players other than the Blazers and a ball I got signed at a Warriors basketball camp when I was a kid. Actually come to think of it, the Warriors basketball was signed by Nate Thurmond and Chris Mullin. I better go check if I have that.
