Full Version: Thanks Trot
Royal Rooters > WE'RE TALKIN' BASEBALL > RED SOX - OFF THE FIELD

Today, Trot Nixon made my son's day and in return my day.
My son is 7 years old and we were sitting in the Pesky Pole - Section B1AAA Row E seat 5-6 and in between innings he threw us a ball. My son leaning way over the wall made the catch. I was so excited rolleyes.gif . He was so excited biggrin.gif . He turned and held the ball extended over his head with a smile from ear to ear.

Kudos to Arroyo, even though he didn't give my son an autograph he was giving out plenty to others. It was good to see him giving back to the fans.

Plus the Sox won!!!!

Were you sitting in the vacated seat of Gary Sheffield's favorite Red Sox season ticket holder?

giavid -- if you get to the park at 4:30 when the gates open, and you haul ass (you seriously have to walk fast) to John Henry's seats next to the dugout... you and your boy will likely get at least a couple autographs and a good picture too. smile.gif

Cool, we will try this the next time we head to the game. Do you know what time they open the gates during day games?

Also, Varitek usually give autographs for 10 mins before games.

The ticket office could tell you. I think its 11ish. And yes, after he warms up, Varitek will autograph. blush.gif

the gates open 2 hours before game time.

Nothing nice I hear about Trot and Varitek surprises me. From my experiences with them in spring training over the years, they were both excellent in accommodating the many autograph seekers.
