Dee Gordon Autograph Signing - Photos and Recap

On Saturday August 2, 2014, Dee Gordon made an autograph appearance at Harry's Dugout in the City of Whittier.  Dee was scheduled to sign from 11am to 12pm.  Similar to signings put on by Honabach and Sons and the OC Dugout, Harry's Dugout offered a VIP line for those who purchased the first 50 autograph tickets.  Even though I've had Dee sign a couple of items at a previous paid signing (click here), I wanted to get a 2014 All-Star ball signed.  Since I don't make it out to the Ravine too often, I figured I'd take advantage of this paid signing.

Dee arrived a few minutes before 11am and after signing a few items for the shop, the line started moving.  My nephew and I were lucky enough to be the second and third person to get their items signed.  Dee was cordial as always and we were out of the shop and on the road home by 11am!  There were approximately 200 people who showed up for the signing as the lines snaked out of the shop and around the building.

Thanks to Harry's Dugout for another great Dodger signing!  Take a look at my pics below.

Eric Dickerson Signing - Photos & Recap

On Saturday December 3, 2011, OC Sports Cards put on a signing at their shop with NFL Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson.  OC Sports Cards is the sister store of The OC Dugout which put on the Dee Gordon signing back on August 27th.  For my recap & photos of that signing click here .  The Dickerson signing was scheduled to run from 11:00 am to 1:00pm.

I had purchased my tickets in advance but decided to shop up at 10:00am just in case there was a long line.  When I arrived at 10:00am, the shop was open but since I didn't see a line forming outside, I walked a few shops down to Starbucks and got a snack.  When I came back out there was one person starting a line, so I figured I'd be the second person.  Within a few minutes a steady stream of people began lining up.  Just a few minutes before 11:00am, Dickerson showed up and headed into the shop.

It was looks like is becoming an OC Dugout & OC Sports Cards tradition, they provided free pizza to everyone in line.  After about 15-20 minutes of signing these for the shop & promoters, the line was moved into the shop.  They allowed about 5 people in at a time.  Dickerson was very friendly and was posing for photos with anyone who asked.  When I entered the shop, my estimate was there was about 40 people in line.

As I approached Dickerson, he was really chatty and signed two mini-helmets for me.  One I am keeping for myself and the other I gave as a Christmas gift to my nephew.  I also had Dickerson sign a 1984 Los Angeles Rams Yearbook i've been saving since I bought it as a kid in 1984.  The yearbook has Rams Hall of Famers, Eric Dickerson, Jack Youngblood and Jackie Slater on the cover along with former Rams, Johnnie Johnson, Nolan Cromwell and Vince Ferragamo.  I had Jack Youngblood sign the yearbook at a previous appearance linked here .  When I handed Dickerson the yearbook he started laughing and commenting on his old hair style from 1984!

Once Dickerson, signed my items, I  took a picture with him, grabbed a couple slices of pizza and headed to another signing.

Take a look at my pics from the signing below:

Overall it was another good signing put on by OC Sports Cards.  Don't forget they have another Dee Gordon signing coming up at Frank & Sons.  For more info on that signing check out my post here

Tommy Lasorda Debacle Has a Happy Ending

Last Sunday August 28, 2011, Tommy Lasorda was scheduled to make an appearance before the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes game.  He was scheduled to sign from 5:00pm - 6:00pm but instead signed from 4:30pm - 5:30pm.  It's been documented in other blogs that Tommy wasn't in the best of moods and was full of expletives that day.  Although it's not cool, Tommy is hit & miss with his attitude sometimes.  There are times when he is the energetic joke telling Tommy we all know and love and there are other times when he is just a grumpy old man.

Well, check out reader Alan D's e-mail below.  He was at the Quakes game to get a Lasorda autograph.  He missed out on the auto but his story still has a happy ending.

I happened to be there for the Tommy Lasorda signing , been cooking in the sun & still wasn't able to get an auto from him.  He was supposed to sign from 5-6 but instead he came early & signed at 4:30 to 5:30 pm and he was in a bad mood.  He was yelling at the quakes staff because he did not want to be signing while the game had started.  I was so disappoint​ed with rest of 50 to 60 people on line, so I decided to just watch the game with my family.  By the 6th inning we decided to call it a day because my kids had school the next day.  As we were about to exit we noticed about 3 guys surroundin​g this person who looked familiar.  It was Dee Gordon, wow!  So I walked towards him and he was kind enough to sign my Stitches Dodgers Jersey, my official MLB baseball & also took a picture with him.  It all turned out to be a good day after that Tommy debacle.  Hopefully I catch him next time.

Check out Alan's picture with Dee -

Glad Alan's day had a happy ending.

Dee Gordon Signing - Recap & Photos

Dodgers short stop Dee Gordon was scheduled for an autograph appearance at the OC Dugout baseball card shop in Anaheim.  The signing was scheduled to take place between 5pm & 7pm.  The Dodgers were playing a 1pm game against the Rockies so I had a feeling the signing wouldn't start exactly at 5pm.  I decided to arrive around 4:30pm just to make sure the line wasn't too long.

When I arrived, there were about 25 people in line so I went inside to purchase a ball and an 8x10 to get signed.  I got in line and right away realized I was in line with DodgerBobble.  DB and I have corresponded through our blogs and e-mail and have been at some of the same signings but our paths have never crossed.  It was good to finally meet him face to face.  Being in line with other fans definitely makes the time go by quicker.  As most everyone knows, the Dodgers & Rockies went into extra innings yesterday, which delayed Dee's arrival.  Luckily Matt Kemp's walk off ended the game before it went too long.  A big thank you to the OC Dugout staff for providing some pizza and bottled water to everyone waiting in line.  It was a nice touch since most of us were in line for a couple hours.

A few minutes before 7pm, a black Dodge Challenger pulled into the parking lot and we could all see Dee cruising in behind the wheel.  Afte a few minutes, the OC Dugout staff were allowing groups of about 5 into the shop.  This allowed time for fans to chat with Dee a little and pose for pictures.

Here are some pics -

Overall, it was a great experience.  I would guess there were about 75-85 people who showed for the signing.  Shout out to DodgerBobble, Ramon & Alex for making the time go by.  I know there were a few other cool people I met but didn't catch everybody's name.
