2013 National Photo Opportunity

Couldn't agree more strongly, Rhys. I'm not about to beg a twenty-something year old kid for his illegible scrawl.

There are only two people alive today whom, if I had the opportunity, I would ask for an autograph.

Who are the two David? Just curious.

One of them is Bob Dylan. I'm gonna keep you guessing on the other.

I don't think people know my full name, David, so they might have trouble guessing your #2.

Ken

When I do finally meet you, Ken, and ask for that signature, I hope you'll use the periods!

Teams, should set up a time for there players to sign. Not everyday and not every player. They should have there stars sign at least once a month and not to anyone over 12. Let the kids sell the autographs if they want but keep the adults away from the playground. Max of 200 kids.First come first served. Let the players earn the money the fans are paying them. It is about time the fans get something for there money.

The Rangers have an organized signing every Wednesday night home game. They setup four stations around the concourse and fans can choose which station they go to. Each station typically signs 150 to 200 autographs per night. You line up early and get a free autograph ticket for your station. If you have a graph ticket, you'll get a graph and depending how fast it goes, the players will sometimes sign a few for those that got there late or didn't plan ahead or just happened to wander up. The Rangers have some of these nights where it's kids only 13 and under, but management also understands that it's the adults that pay the bills, buy the season tickets, buy the concessions, et , and that adults collect as well, and on those nights it's open to all ages. it's usually 3 players and one coach, and every now and then, some of the stars will take a turn

This is usually the best night to try and get graphs from BP however, as most of the chasers are busy standing in line waiting for the organized signing.

Plus, the Rangers let season ticket holders enter the park 30 minutes before everyone else on all games, and that is by far, the best time to get graphs, you don't have to deal with all the extra people. The Rangers are an organization that "gets it" as far as I'm concerned. They've treated me and my daughter WELL and we reward that by buying tickets, going to their events, and generally spending money with them

Good times and good memories

Perhaps Stephen Hawking, if he could?

[David Atkatz]

Nope. Hawking is very popular in the popular press--some think because he fits the stereotype of the "disembodied brain" so well. But he's not considered to be in the top echelon of twentieth-century physics by practicing physicists. He's no Einstein. Or Schrodinger. Or Pauli. Or Feynman. Or...
