MLB Man Caught at CitiField

[rmichne]

This is my first attempt at post with photos. Hope it works out ok.

I was at CitiField 9/9/09 and caught the MLB Authenticator doing his job. He was sitting to the right of the Mets dugout and was fed a steady diet of GU baseballs from 'Jimmy' the ballboy. Note the close-ups of the roll of MLB Holograms and accompanying barcodes. After applying the hologram to the ball he would attach the barcode to a notebook where he could log more details about the ball. He also seemed to have a small barcode reader with a keypad attached. Sorry for the blurry photo of him actually sticking the hologram on the ball.

We passed each other on the steps towards the end of the game and I looked at him, smiled and said "MLB Man." He smiled back and patted me on the back as we passed each other.

I thought you guys would like to see him in action. Hope you enjoy them.
