That was a great success that you got a ball and book signed. NICE !!!!!

if you search "kidsday newsday" in google and click on the first result and find cal ripken jr interview. click that. i am one of the reporters. take a lucky guess!!!

tell me if you did that and tell me if it worked!! :D :D :D

Good Luck! I'm sure the lines will be long. If you take a friend, have them take a photo while your up next to him. Other than getting thier autograph is having a photo with him if not next to him. (Below) My then girlfriend and now wife took the photo's of me with Julio Franco and Ruben Sierra from the Texas Rangers at a signing back in the 90's. I have a collection photos.
Just like the old saying says....You should of see the big one that got away. Well..... I got ALI's auto (x4) in a hotels lobby with my wife and son. I DIDN'T HAVE A CAMERA and he was posing with the autograph seekers. Talk about the GREAT one.

Now with Tech. era here hopfully someone will take a photo of you and Cal

Good Luck!

Well I'm going to meet him when he comes to DC on his book signing. I email the store and they have stated LOTS and LOTS of time that he will not sign anything other then his books sold at this store. They also told me that anyone seen with anything other then the book will be ask to leave the line. Plus he will be in store for only 2hrs and will leave once 2hrs have reached. With no signed book plates being handed out.

He seems like one the of the worst book signing I will be attending to but I really don't care because I will meet one of my favoirte MLB player from my favoirte team Orioles. Plus I will get 2 genuine Cal auto for less then $40. Meet him at a real sport signing once and he charges at least $100 for an auto. So this book signing tour is a steal for getting his auto.

it wasnt a book signing

interveiwed him
after signed for me and my buds!! :D

I had gotten him at a book signing a few years ago. I knew he wasn't allowed to sign anything other than the book so I had personally handed him an autograph request with a 1991 card in it. Never got a return on that one. Guess I should have enclosed a few $$$... :roll:

im gonna order mine at bn.com :D [us] :)

[quote="warlordforever04"]bull i checked border they dont have any signed books for sale[/quote]

They did last week because I ordered both of my copies from them. They are no longer taking pre-orders for the item. B&N still has their's listed [url]http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Hothead/Cal-Ripken-Jr/e/9781423151685/?itm=2&USRI=hothead[/url]

Yea, you can't beat this deal. At one point, there was a promo code for 40% off any one item at B&N. I ordered 2 copies a couple of weeks back...may have spent $32 total for 2 genuine Ripken autos.
