September 15, 200619 yr Anyone here know the name of the hotel the players and staff are staying at in San Fransisco? I believe it was the Marriott Parc 55 a few years ago, but can't remember. Thanks in advance! Go Sox
September 15, 200619 yr These threads are creepy. Its their hotel for G*d's sake. They don't need to be surrounded by hawks where they eat and sleep.
September 15, 200619 yr Author Actually, I want to take my disabled nephew who is 8 years old to get a few autographs. I live in San Francisco, and at the ballpark, it's hard getting him down near the dugouts in his wheelchair, so the hotel is the easiest option. He loves the White Sox, and in the past, they've been great with signing autographs for him at their hotel.

I don't know the hotel, but good luck finding it and I hope your nephew gets some good autographs and has a good time. Edited September 15, 200619 yr by Sox1422

Opinions don't need justification. QUOTE(WhiteSox3333 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:19 AM) Actually, I want to take my disabled nephew who is 8 years old to get a few autographs.

OK, I guess I was a little broad with the use of "everyone" but you (you as in most rational people) know what I meant. The story does matter. He was calling this guy out as an adult autograph hound when all he wanted to do was make his handicapped nephew's day.

I BELIEVE, but am not totally certain, that most MLB teams stay in Westin hotels where they are available. For the Giants visitors, last year it was the Westin Tabor Center. I have no idea if that applies for the A's or not. Again, I can't say this with certainty. But if you hear a rumor from someone else that its a Westin, or W or something like that, I can say thats also what I have heard.

I do know from staying at team hotels on the road that most folks are autograph hounds so he wasn't far off. It's not worth making an issue though. I do think that doing it at the park is best though. They are very accomidating with handicap folks, and it dimishes the risk of having to fight for an autograph in an uncontrolled situation such as at the hotel.
