Re: Anyone that has purchased from the Cardinals winter warmup..
At least you have an identifier.
I stopped buying hats from the Warmup after digging through a bin of gamers. I was told to bring a list of numbers since they were all the same price, and the only way to identify them was on the hat.
My right arm smelled hideous after fighting for a non-numbered signed hat from Matt Morris.

I purchased it from someone that did the digging. They said its a mad dash once the doors open.But, the "21" matches Tino style writing from his bats.
At least you were able to wash away the hideous smell...hopefully

Plan on hitting the Winter Warm-Up this year. Pretty excited. All the people I talked to said Pujols wasnt too friendly last year and he left early.

Hello all,
I have attended the Winter Warm up the last several years and its always a good time, but very crowded. Pujols is always been somewhat rude from my experiences.

Re: Anyone that has purchased from the Cardinals winter warmup..
I think we were told that he had to catch a plane to the Dominican. I think he is fed up with collectors in general. Personally, and this is just my opinion, it is the STL atomosphere. In NY or LA he would not be mobbed or hounded for 'graphs every time he goes out for a jog. In STL, we treat our ballplayers like Gods, kings, etc. More important than the president. Maybe that is warped, but I have seen Vince Coleman mobbed at a golf course.
Albert really is a nice guy by all accounts, but I think he is not fond of the secondary market. He is pretty sure that all of those $150 autos he sells at the Warmup are going to be listed on eBay for twice that in the days following.
I could care less. He is a performer, and does plenty of civic duty to offset the attitude.
If anyone plans to attend from out of town, contact me, and we'll hit a bar or have some lunch.
