Hey everyone, Sunday ended up being a good day for me after I had been bummed most all day. I was at the Brewers game and got autographs early and asked my favorite player Carlos Villanueva, who pretty much knows me for all the pictures and stuff I have given him and his family, if he was going to give out any of his game used stuff after the game...He said he'd see what he had and I told him to look for me if he did. Well during the game they raffled off their gu jerseys and if you won you could go and get it signed by the player. I found the person that won Villanueva's but they didnt want to sell it so I was kinda bummed I couldnt get another jersey of his to add to my pc. After the game the players handed out their gu stuff and I couldnt get down to the dugout close enough becuase security was being ridiculous even though tons of people were there and I missed out again on getting anything from any of the players although one of my friends got a Fielder bat and a few things since he got closer to me. Anyways I waited after the game with my friends to hang out and say bye to players and wait for traffic to clear. I was about to leave when Carlos came up on a cart but he saw me and pointed to me in the crowd. He came over to the fence and gave me his game worn cleats and signed them for me. He said he didnt forget that I had asked him earlier this year for them and told me thanks for everything and that everyone like the stuff I gave him. So here they are, the newest addition to my Villanueva collection.

Congrats! That's a great story. So what kind of stuff were the players handing out after the game?
