    Barrelman- You are correct that lots of cutting took place. My friends and I arrived at 7:45am for Braun, were counted as number 107 and 108 in line and did not get an autograph. A number of people were filing into the Braun line after leaving the Hart, Torres, Counsell, and Riske lines. The line was cut off about 10 people in front of me. I know I drove down from Green Bay (after spending part of the night before in the hospital) and the two guys who were infront of me had driven three hours from the Dells. It was fun to talk to the rest of the Brewer fans around...but overall I was disappointed. I know that it is just an autograph..and as its been mentioned in this thread before..not getting the autograph you want just means that you aren't trying. I guess if I try this route again next year I will have to get there at 6 or 5am.

    Dinner downtown and then a walk to Monona Terrace (view of the lake is very nice) is an idea. Worked for me once..haha.

    I'm 8-0 so far this year (9-1 if you count the two exhibition games at Miller Park) I keep telling myself I need to go to more games because they always win when I'm there!

    Oh, believe me, when/if I coach baseball, I will use the term "gritty battler"

    I appreciate the time you all have taken to provide some insight and advice. I probably sunk myself a couple of times with errors or mistakes in a letter or something like that. I really can't move across the country due to some sick parents that I have to be within a couple of hours drive. I have been doing most of what you have suggested, so I must be doing something right. I check WECAN and WI.gov daily I've had people go through my materials and my questions. I point out how I would like to coach and/or work with extra-curriculars, I am taking econ classes right now to finish off my economics certification within the next year. Trust me, I don't teach for the money and I think I have demonstrated from my conditional contracted job that I have the skills, but as its been pointed out here I probably just don't have enough that administrators want. I still appreciate your time and imput. I wish all you the best. Moose

    I tried Hart during ST with no success. Not sure about Parra, I'm planning on sending him something soon. I let a couple of 10 yr olds cut infront of me so I didn't get his auto at the block party. I do know that Villanueva signs through the mail.

    Hey, I don't post on here often (I usually read but don't post, I'm not huge into fan boards) but I wanted to reach out to all the teachers at bf.net for some adivce. I am a graduate of UW-Madison's teacher education program in high school/middle school Social Studies, I graduated in December and got a semester long contracted teaching job in January with the Green Bay school district. That job was filled by a regular contract employee and I got the ugly axe. I wanted to know if any teachers on bf.net have any advice on how to find a teaching job? Is there something special that I should be showing school districts in my application? I've already put in over a 100 applications this summer and have only gotten 3 interviews (2 for jobs that are less than 50%). Even though I've only had a little bit of experience, I think (and have heard from administrators, students, and parents) that I am a very good teacher and I love teaching, I really can't see myself doing anything else (besides my dream job of playing 1st base for the Brewers). This has led to a very frustrating and depressing summer for me as I sift through rejection letters while working 3 part time jobs to make ends meet. I thank you for your time, consideration, and advice in advance. Moose Moose

    You gotta figure with Braun's success he get a ton of fan mail with auto requests (I sent him an 8x10 in April...oops). I've been hoping to get to one of his free team sponsored signings but working 7 days a week puts a cramp in that. Hopefully I'll get him in the next 7 years..haha.

    BrwrsFan, Yeah, that was me, I was the teacher from Green Bay.

    I was in Gallardo's line. I got there at 1120ish..and was 4th in line. He looked like he wasn't thrilled to be there, but I figured he was tired since he pitched the night before if you get me in to work early on a saturday I would be a little miffed too. I thought he was very nice, he said hi to me, thanked me when i told him he pitched a heck of a game the night before. I thought it was great, I had a good time waiting and talking with all the other fans in line with me.

    I don't doubt it...though I quit playing serious baseball when I had my knee put back together the 2nd time and I haven't tried to hit one in a bunch of years. I'm sure a bit of time in the cage would bring some form of timing back. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Hey, I moved up to Green Bay a couple of months ago, I started teaching in the school district here in January. I'm wondering if any bfnetters in Green Bay are looking or have room for another guy on a softball team. I don't know a ton of people up here and played in 3 Madison softball leagues and with a tournament team last year. I'm an ok player, can pitch slow-pitch, can play infield and a little outfield, not a fantastic player but decent, I'd also have a couple bats for the team to use. Give me a shout if anyone needs and extra. Thanks.

    I too admire your dedication. Unfortunatly I won't be able to get there til 10, too hard to coordinate my group from all over the state haha.

    I think Autograph field are the locations held on the warning track, and the stages will be on the concourse. Probably so they can control longer lines for Fielder, Braun, Hardy, et. al on the councourse and allow fans to go on the field to meet guys like torres, kapler, etc. since those will probably be shorter less packed lines. But, don't quote me on that, its just what I gather from the press release from the Brewers.

    The Brewers did release signing times and locations, I just saw it on the website today. Link
