Québec Remparts vs. Lewiston Maineiacs IP

Earlier tonight I attended the game between the Québec Remparts and the Lewiston Maineiacs at the Colisée and stayed after the game for autographs. The first autographs I got were from Steven Finn, who's now the Maineiacs' assistant coach:

A few minutes later I spotted Mr. Finn chatting with Stéphane Fiset, who's now an agent. Unfortunately, I hadn't brought cards of him, not knowing he'd be there. About the same time, I almost got to ask Kirill Kabanov to sign my card as he jogged around the Colisée after the game, but I wasn't quick enough... :o\

From the Remparts, I was able to get these cards signed by Louis Domingue and Joël Champagne.

Once again, I set out to try and wait for Patrick Roy. It got to a point where there were only me and a guy who wanted to get his Habs jersey signed waiting. I ended up catching Mr. Roy as he was about to leave the arena and he signed the 2 cards I had:

Needless to say, I'm pretty excited that he completed the dual card that was already signed by Martin Brodeur!

Ryan Bourque IP

Earlier tonight I went and saw the Québec Remparts play against the Montréal Junior at the Colisée. After the game, I got this card signed by Ryan Bourque:

My friend and I then waited for Patrick Roy to come out. We knew he usually came out much later than the rest of the team, but when he wasn't out by 11:30 PM, we decided to leave! I'm sure I'll get a chance to get him to sign my cards some other time... :o)

Andre Ethier IP

When I went to my first Dodgers game ever earlier today during a trip to California with my girlfriend, I didn't expect to do any autograph hounding there. When I noticed some people getting autographs from the Dodgers near their dugout before the game though, I decided to buy a Rawlings Official Major League Baseball at the souvenir stand and I went down there to see if I could get my favorite player, Andre Ethier, to sign my baseball. After doing some stretching on the field, he signed for a few minutes for the fans who were there and I was able to get my baseball signed (by borrowing someone's pen)!

I wish he had signed it on the sweet spot, but I guess he thought I wanted to get it signed by the whole team... I'm still extremely happy I got his signature, which was totally unexpected! Here's a picture I snapped of him signing more stuff after he had signed my ball:
