Re: 2008 All Star Fan fest in New York

Does anyone know if there are any plans for any current or former Yankee players to be there in situations where the fans can meet them and get autographs? I went to the All Star game in Houston in 04 and was surprised there weren't many former players at the fan fest and none of the All Star selections.

I would expect there are probably gonna be quite a few Yankess players. It does list in the promotion that there will be autograph signings. I would expect it to be players like this. these are the usual players you find in the north east area doing promotional signings.

Tommy John
Mickey Rivers
Roy White
Goose Gossage
Bucky Dent
Jim Leyritz
Oscar Gamble
Whitey Ford
Yogi Berra
Darryl Strawberry
Don Larsen
Graig Nettles

I am not saying any of these players are going to be there this is just specualtion based on the normal players that are at these type of promotional events here in New York.

I'll be there all day Saturday. I've never been to anything even close to an event like this, so I will be like a kid in a candy store. I gotta try to cram as much fun into one day as possible.

I would expect the autograph lines to be long, as the players sign for free. I know that the card companies will be there selling product as well as McFarlane selling show exclusive figures. I'm thinking I will just stick with the card aspect of the show, as I don't want to spend all day in line for an autograph. Although I may have to get Yogi if he appears.

I know this is off topic, but I will be in NYC for a few days that weekend with my family. Can anyone tell me where there are any good Italian delis? I want some real cannoli.

Tedw9 ahhhhh your defintiely not from New York lol lol

It would be a Italian Bakery not a Deli lol lol

There are plenty here in New York but depends what kind of transportation your relying on. But the easiest would be for you to head down to Little Italy you should find quite a few down there its in lower Manhattan.

My invoice arrived today, and it's not pretty.

But at least I didn't get dislocated. I'll have my regular seats for all 3 events (Futures/Celebrity, HR Derby, and ASG).

The fun has already started on StubHub, with tickets listed for as much as 15k per - not that any will move at that price.
