Getting autographs at a minor league baseball game

I was wondering if anyone here has ever gotten autographs at minor league baseball games and if they have any tips on how to get them?

Thanks,

Woah! You think I'm Cody? My name is Carl Scott Simone and we just happen to share a birthday. BIG DEAL.

Stand along the baseline pregame and postgame. Also, figure out where the teams come out to the field from the clubhouse.

Yep, and its real easy too. They seem much happier to sign your stuff than the pros.

I bought a Vancouver Canadians hat that ended up fitting too large (good old New Era consistency), so I turned it in to a souvenir by getting some autographs. At Nat Bailey Stadium it's pretty easy. I went down to the front row of seats near the dugout and a number of players were happy to sign.

This is the best picture I could find. The bottom left is the best place to get signatures. But obviously whether you can do this depends on the ballpark.

If you want to get some decently big names to sign stuff for you, make sure to go to games when big leaguers are making minor league rehab starts. Back when I was into autographs, I got a TON of big name ball players to sign my stuff during those games.

Yep, minor league autographs are easy to get if you're in the right place, as most have mentioned. And it pays off sometimes too, as you never know who's eventually going to make it to the big leagues. So far I've attended Salt Lake Stingers (now Bees), Orem Owlz, and old Provo Angels games in which Chone Figgins and Erick Aybar were on the field, and opposing players included Angel Berroa, Ken Harvey (tried to get his autograph just because he shares my name, but just missed him!), Seth Smith, and (I think, if I'm remembering right) Chris Ianetta. Not necessarily big-timers, but it's still cool to know they are/were in the big leagues after I saw them.

The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.
