KJean Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I was just wondering if anyone had any information about Crede having an appearance/ autograph signing this Saturday somewhere. I think I read about it on here, but then again I could be making it up. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were only 225 vouchers given out to people who spent $30+ on MLB merchandise at that store only. I recieved my voucher on Sat April 1st, and was number 88. That following Monday, my friend went and the number jumped quickly; he was #185. If you plan on doing this, I suggest you get to that Toys R Us as quickly as possible, but I'm gonna guess that all the vouchers have been given out already.

His glove on the other hand, besides the "no call" error that Farmeo was mentioning today, has been spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Well you guys can be happy with his .1 something batting average, but im not..

He still has a huge weakness of not being athletic enough to barehand balls on bunts and swinging bunts; he can't charge on a ball. This year he's already impressed me with his stops on hard hit balls (which I think has always been damn good). He gets a 10 in style points for plays like the one he made last week when he deflected a liner in the air with his glove, then made the barehand catch as the ball descended.

DBAHO Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Considering the fact that Crede is usually a 2nd half hitter, we should be stoked with the way he's carried on his form from the playoffs into this season. It looks like he may be finally coming into his own as a hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went pretty good; i got a picture signed from the 2006 official yearbook, and my brother got a baseball signed. We were able to shake his hand, get and autograph and take a picture with Joe if you brought a camera. I congratulated him on a great playoff performance and wished him the best of luck to repeat again this year. Here are a few pics; i'm the one in the jersey and my brother is in the black shirt.

KJean Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 I went as well, though I didn't have a voucher so I wasn't able to get an autograph or anything. But my friend and I were able to watch on and we did take quite a few pictures. He was very nice, talked to fans, signed a lot of autographs and took a ton of pictures and such. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/dau...n85/Crede05.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/dau...n85/Crede24.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/dau...n85/Crede30.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/dau...n85/Crede35.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/dau...n85/Crede41.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/dau...n85/Crede42.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/dau...n85/Crede44.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/dau...n85/Crede49.jpg Thanks again smalls for the info!

Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 So he'd sign anything? I know some of the other mbl players that do the toys r us thing are only supposed to sign a baseball. Not sure if thats enforced but I read that for the Yadier Molina one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if thats enforced but I read that for the Yadier Molina one On the flyers/online posting it said he would only sign mlb baseballs and pictures, but he was signing everything (if you had a voucher); caps, jerseys, magazines, and such. They also had a stack of glossy photos of Crede if someone didn't bring anything for him to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good because I plan on bringing my Wheaties box. Are they restricting to one item per person or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
