Last year the Eagles held a military appreciation day at their mini-camp. After their practice, the whole team stayed out on the field while a couple hundred military members came out and mingled with the team, getting autographs and having pictures taken with the players. There I met Donovan McNabb and got his autograph on an 8x10 photo and a mini-helmet, Brian Westbrook on a 8x10, and Brian Dawkins on an 8x10. I had my picture taken with Takeo Spikes and Jerremiah Trotter, neither of whom are still on the Eagles a mere 1 year later. In fact, Trotter got cut a week after the mini-camp. I asked McNabb if we were gonna beat the Patriots this time, and he assured me we would :mrgreen: We didn't, but we were the first to come close last year! 8)

Also, and this was a while ago, but back in '98 I attended a Flyers' Wives Fight for Lives carnival, held annually in memory of Barry Ashbee. There I met and got sigs from many of the Flyers' players, the biggest name being Paul Coffey. I also got Dainus Zubrus, Trent Klatt, Eric Desjardins, Joel Otto, Luke Richardson, Petr Svoboda, and Janne Niinamaa.

And those are my in person autographs. :)
