How to Get an Autograph at a Baseball Game

Want to get an autograph without getting your favorite players mad?

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Blue marker or pen.
• Bring an object to get signed such as a baseball, picture, poster, etc.

1. Get to the game early. Batting practice is a great time for autographs. You are usually allowed in to the stadium two and a half hours before the game starts.
2. During batting practice you are allowed to go anywhere on the field. Try to get near prime spots such as the dugouts and the first and third baseline.
3. If an athlete is signing, approach them politely. Don't yell and scream, players don't sign for rude people.
4. Make sure your supplies are easy to access. The earlier you get to an athlete, the better.
5. Hand them the object camly, don't shove it in their face. Make sure you smile and that the athlete knows you really appreciate it.
6. Try to put the object away as soon as possible so nothing bad happens.
7. Balls in a case. Buy a case to put the object it. It adds to the appearance and it also keeps it protected.

Tips & Warnings

• Try to go during spring training. Usually athletes are more friendly.
• Wait your turn and do not interrupt them if they are busy.
• Bring a pen or marker, blue is the usually the best color.
• Be polite and friendly.
• Try to tell the athlete about yourself, not about the sport they play.
• If you get an autograph, keep it protected, make sure it doesn't get banged up.
• Don't bring more than one thing to get signed.
• Athletes don't like to shake hands because they don't want anything slippery or sticky on their hands.
