It's really just people standing in a line. The way he's decided to do it is actually the best way and ensures people get an autograph without having people jumping on their backs. All you need to do is get there early and wait it out.

It's good to know this stuff. I always wanted to go to spring training just to get Koufax' signature, but I feel like the lines would be too long and he may not sign on many days (especially the days I'm there).
Does anybody know if Kershaw or Puig sign during spring training? |

My son went Thurs and Fri. Didn't sign Thursday. Signed maybe 180 Friday and then stopped. My son was next to last person to get him. He signed for a specific amount of minutes and then stopped. there was cutting in online that day

Kershaw signed a few on his way off the main field. The way it works is that there's a main field that's set up right outside the players club house. Players walk out through the club house, onto the main field, and then move around to the other fields. So the best thing to do is find a spot on the railing and just wait it out. Pitchers always finish first and early.
I did not see Puig sign any autographs when I was there but a lot of people had gotten him the year before. He might not be as accommodating now. Mattingly signs a TON. He's great. It was very rewarding to see your favorite player and hero be so kind to fans. Here's the ticket I got signed. The first Wild Card game in MLB history:

That's great to know, Packs. I grew up admiring Mattingly too. He seems like a genuine guy. That signature looks kind of rushed by Donnie, but as long as you got it in person I'm sure it's still a great feeling.

It was definitely rushed. There was a mob. He also signed two Don Mattingly Day tickets I had with me and later in the week I got this nice one on a ball when there was a smaller crowd. I love Donnie. Class act all the way:

I was at the Dodgers today. Koufax did not sign. People got there at 5 o'clock in the morning to line up! Sounds like on previous days some people get one per person and others cut in line multiple times. Just how it is with dealers and people trying to make a buck off an autograph. The sad part is people waited in line all morning until practice was over thinking he would come back out. From my experience, once he goes into the clubhouse he is not coming out just to sign autographs. I wish the Dodgers would've communicated that to the fans.
On another note, Puig did sign today. I did not get him, but he signed a lot. It was a true madhouse. McGwire and Mattingky also signed. Again a madhouse. Lasorda set up a table and started signing at the end of practice. I think most people didn't realize it. He was actually pleasant today! Last edited by jimjim; 03-03-2015 at 02:50 PM. |

Another plus for the Dodgers complex is that they share it with the White Sox. So if you're killing time, doesn't hurt to walk over to the Chicago side. I got Chris Sale with minimum effort. Feeling pretty dumb about not waiting for Abreu last year.

He was 74th in the afternoon tho he thought closer to 80 + the 100 he signed in the morning. I have a book Jews and Baseball I wanted signed since I have quite a few others in it. Definitely not a sale item
