This is a rather slow weekend for free autograph opportunities although there are some rather big names on this list. I took a look for next week’s signing opportunities and it’s going to be outstanding. FYI if you are going to the National in Chicago this year, keep an eye out for free signing opportunities at the hotels these guys are staying at. Do some research and you should be able to walk away with some nice autos. Anyhoo, here is this weekend’s opportunities:
7/25/08
- Chad Billingsly – Dodgers – 12pm-1pm – AT&T wireless – 3764 Willshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA
- Rudy Law – Dodgers / White Sox – 6pm – ? – Dodger Stadium – During LA batting practice

7/26/08
- Daric Barton – A’s – TBA – Otaez Mexican Restaurant – 1619 Webster St. Alameda, CA – After A’s game.
- Mitch Williams – Phillies – 5pm – ? – First Energy Park – Lakewood, NJ – With paid admission to Blue Claws game.
It’s funny that this makes back to back weekends Barton is signing. Also the Blue Claws get some serious talent to sign at their games for free. First Jerry Rice and now Wild Thing Williams. I remember a few years back when I got Bob Feller to sign there as well. Last year I think they had Steve Carlton. You just know that at some point they are going to have Schmidt there. Nothing locally going on here in NC this weekend as far as any kind of signings going on.
