Jose was at a signing today in AZ. I found out about it at the last minute so I had to race there. I just barely made it in time before he left. I was so out of breath when I finally got there that Jose probably thought I was insane. He he. I looked like such a fanboy. First he signed my retail Oakland A's road jersey. He added 40/40 which was awesome. Then I said to him that I was told that my Cooper bat was an Oakland A's gamer. He said "hold on and I'll tell you". Then he inspected the bat (Especially the handle) and said "Yep, it's real". I'm so excited right now. I've had that bat since 1998 and I've been dying to get him to sign it ever since. Yes! I had a couple other questions to ask him but I was so hyped up that my mind drew a blank and I forgot to ask him. He he.

Pics coming soon.

I forgot to ask him to add the gamer inscription. I was so flustered just trying to get there in time that I totally forgot.

thats cool man was he a nice huy i have never met him before

[JRocker49]

also how was the crowd good turn out

[JasonM33]

I've personally met Jose once and I've met him at card shows two other times. He's always been very respectfull and friendly. Not at all like the jerk some people make him out to be. I got there right as he was getting ready to leave so there weren't very many people there. He was signing anything and everything. I wish I wasn't so rushed. I have another bat that I'd like to get signed and a book and one more jersey. Hopefully he'll keep doing appearances.

hey at least you got to meet the man and have him in sign it in front of you to get him to sign it on the sweet spot like that i taped a not to the barrell pointing to where he signed it with the inscription. the promoter said no promises that he would do the inscription and said jose would have to inspect the bat well i now feel very comfortable that it is a legit jose gamer complete witht he partially hand shaved handle. i heard there is a photo on a card of him shaving down handles i would love to find that
