How to Get An Autograph at Shea Stadium

If you want to increase your chances of getting an autograph before the big game...just follow these easy steps and you're on your way!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Sharpie Pen
• Something for player to sign such as ball, picture, paper or ticket stub
• Lots of patience
• A sense of humor

1. Get to Shea Stadium, buy a ticket and enter the stadium. You can go to your seat, and get yourself settled, but make sure you are in the stadium way before the game starts..at least an hour before.

2. About a half hour before game time, players will begin to come out from the clubhouse. Make your way down to the front row behind the Met's dugout. That will be the dugout located to the right of home plate.

3. Try to be friendly to the players. Crack a joke or two. Try to get noticed. Wave to the players and tell them how much you love them. Do not be shy. As soon as they catch your eye you can give them the pen and something to sign. Hopefully they will be in a good mood. You should be able to get an autograph with no problem.

Tips & Warnings

• You may want to be wearing Mets clothing such as jerseys, hats or a t-shirt. The Met players will like that! Some Met players that enjoy giving autographs are: Marlon Anderson, John Maine, Carlos Beltran and Ryan Church.
• Do not do anything silly to attract the attention of the security personnel. That will just get you ejected from the stadium or sent back to your seat!
