Mark Appel & Carlos Correa #1 overall MLB draft '12 '13

Last night I was able to meet the #1 overall picks from the last TWO Major League drafts - Carlos Correa 2012 and Mark Appel 2013. Both were picked and signed by the Houston Astros. Mark Appel was drafted last month out of Stanford University and was sent directly to Single A Quad Cities River Bandits which is where Correa has been for the whole season. I tried unsuccessfully to get Correa's auto back in May but he seemed to be in a better mood this time, probably because he hit a monster home run that hit a restaurant window beyond the seating and concourse. Both guys limited their signing to only one autograph per person. Both signatures are on official MLB baseballs.
