Controlled Chaos Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 *To promote organ donation, Sox broadcasters Ed Farmer and Chris Singleton, pitcher Mark Buehrle and catcher Chris Widger will sign autographs Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. at the lower level of the Thompson Center, 100 W. Randolph. What? No Nancy Faust? Oh, different sort of organs. Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) Putting "Buehrle [...] signing today" in the title got me excited that he was signing a contract extension. Jerk Edited April 18, 2006 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) Just got back. I got my world Series program signed and a baseball. They would only sign two things each. I got there at 11:15and was probably about 50th in line. They got started a little late. all in all about an hour 45 minute lunch. Its all good!!! Oh that's my magnet collection. If anyone has an extra one from 2000 I'd be happy to take it off your hands. Edited April 18, 2006 by Controlled Chaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I just got back too. I found out about signing today, so I didn't have anything for them to sign. Luckily they had some paper with the WS logo on it at the table, so I had them sign that. Mark is very cool, the Widge looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there. I got a nice little thrill to walk right past Farmer as he sat there with his pen in his hand reaching toward me like I wanted his autograph. :finger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 DO you have to spend the $50 on clothes or is that just to get moved to the head of the line? I hadn't heard one way or the other on Jenks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchtower41 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 01:01 PM) ?? The "Sweet Spot" on the ball (between the seams) is usually the best spot to have someone sign. Unless of course you plan on getting the ball signed by numerous different players.....
