Anyone check out Rangers fan fest?

I heard a couple things about super long lines, esp Hamilton and Michael Young. No word on game-used offerings. Just curious!!

[cjclong]

They had a huge line for Hamilton. He was scheduled to sign for two hours rather than the usual one and we still didn't get tickets. Had a number of cracked game used bat from Hamilton and others and some game used jerseys, etc. Hamilton talked at a Q&A session afterward and said he always tried to remember that if it was not for the fans he would not be here. And he obviously means it.

Did they charge for signatures?

[cjclong]

There was a $10 charge to get in. All the autographs, talks, and other activities were covered by the entry fee.

Thats the way to do it is to issue tickets somehow. Isn't Josh Hamilton under contract with LoJo still or do I have that wrong.

On the subjects of FanFests, I think most star players charge a fee or the team pays their agent as a public signing if they want that player to be free to the public.

Does anyone know what they charge for Pujols and Ryan Howard and Ryan Braun????

How much were the Hamilton cracked bats selling for?

[arl423]

I believe Pujols was $175 at the Cardinals Winter Warmup this year. Not sure about the others.
