2011 Braves Caravan
Anybody going?
The Braves will be traveling to Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, & the metro Atlanta area. Chipper isn't signing this year, but basically everybody else is.

I'll most-likely be at the ones in Lawrenceville & Roswell.
For anybody going to one that has somebody like Heyward, McCann, Huddy, etc., expect to get there around 3-4 hours early. I did that last year for a couple stops and even after getting there 4 hours early, I was still over 200 back in line.kylehess941@hotmail.com

Re: 2011 Braves Caravan
I'll probably try to go to the one in Charlotte, NC. It's the only one close... Just to say Hi to Pete and get some auto's from Derek Lowe.
Do you know if I could possibly get him to sign more than one item? Like 2 or 3?
Thanks.

Re: 2011 Braves Caravan
You can only get 1 item signed, but I believe you're allowed to go back to the end of the line if you want more (the lines have always been cut off though at all the stops last year).
There's usually someone standing by the players who stops anyone from trying to get additional autographs or certain inscriptions. Last year I asked every player to personalize their autographs to me and I had no problem with that, but I remember one guy in front of me tried to get Bobby Cox to inscribe "95 WS Champs", which he was beginning to do, but some lady from behind made him stop. Not sure why, but you should expect that for just the bigger-name players.kylehess941@hotmail.com

Re: 2011 Braves Caravan
I went to the stop today in Auburn, AL. I took my Tim Hudson game used bat from this year to get signed. When I got to the table all of the players got Tim's attention to look at my "Huddy Special." Tim asked if he could hold the bat and when I gave it to him he held it like he was batting and said " I definitely remember this one." Brian Snitker the third base coach made a joke asking him to check if it was cracked. Tim said he was surprised it wasn't cracked, but it does have a huge indention on them back that took it out of commission. Overall it was a great experience and great authentication for my bat.

Re: 2011 Braves Caravan
Anybody else attend any of the caravan stops?
There was an article written about me from the stop in Roswell on Wednesday:

The lines are definitely packed. If anybody is going to the remaining stops, I suggest to get there ATLEAST 3 hours early to guarantee a spot. I got there 5 hours early for the stop with Heyward and 4 hours early for the stop with McCann and I was around 50 back in line for both.kylehess941@hotmail.com
