Also did a little IP today at Minute Maid. I guess I did okay today. Got Doug Brocail, Brian Bogusevic, Wilton Lopez, and Clint Barmes to sign my Astros team litho from 2011, and Chad Qualls on the 2005 team litho. Also got a fellow by the name of Andrew McCutchen to sign a bat. :D

The Astros also had a big 50th Anniversary celebration today, and had a number of players who showed up for a luncheon. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the luncheon and missed out on Biggio, but the 'stros did do something for their fans that was unannounced. During the game tonight they held a free signing session with several former players on the concourse. I was fortunate enough to get these guys:

Cesar Cedeno sweet spot on OMLB
Craig Reynolds on his 1988 game used cleats
Chris Sampson on a Astros cap
Mike Hampton on an Astros cap
Danny Coombs on an Astros '60's replica shooting star jersey
and...

...some guy named Roger Clemens on a 2004 MLB All Star Game Program. :cool:

Okay, I guess it was an okay day.

Very true. I loved meeting his two sons. Both were proudly wearing their t-ball uniforms. Really cool kids, just like their dad.

Oh, and I forgot to mention one more success from yesterday...

Joel Hanrahan sweet spot on OMLB

A pretty cool day.
