Im just wondering how often players sign autographs at the games, Ive only been to a few games and Im not usually early enough to catch the players when they do sign. Also, from what Ive heard the away teams players usually dont interact with the fans very much.Im asking this because Im going to a couple Giants vs.Astros games and I would really like to get a chance to meet Jeff Bagwell and have him sign a baseball. and, has anyone ever mailed a request to a team asking for an autograph? my friend wrote the Mets and asked for a ball autographed by the team for his father, a life-long mets fan and he recieved one.

Anyway, good luck at the game. If you're serious about getting Bagwell I'd be there when the gates open and see if you can get down to the front row, at the end of the dugout.

I'm not sure how you'll do with Bagwell at a regular season game, but he's always been a great signer during the spring training season. I live near where they train, in Kissimmee, and if you ever have a chance to get here during spring training that's the time to get these guys. It's gotten a lot tougher over the years, but I'm sure it's a lot easier than the regular season. As far as mailing, I did mail Bagwell and other players years ago and bagwell signed the cards I sent him. That was before he was as popular as he's become, so it's tough to say.... plus you can't ever be sure it's the real thing. I've gotten back a lot of stamped signatures or autopen signatures, and lots of times never heard back, losing the cards I sent.Anyway, good luck at the game.

I was once an avid card collector which meant I also kept up with some of the big mags like Beckett BCM... And there was usually a feature article about the signing habits of major players. You're in luck; every time I read an article, it never failed to emphasize the fan-friendly Astros from Bagwell and Biggio to others who've come and gone, like Derek Bell and Jose Lima. This prompted the magazine to taut the Astros as by far the most fan-friendly team for autographs. Like you said, however, sometimes the away team doesn't interact with fans at the game, but still... It's worth a shot.

Nearly got Mike Jackson, but he stopped signing when I was next. The Jake has a players parking lot outside and players usually take time to sign a few before heading out.
