This questions comes from Jay who wants to know: I'm heading to Fenway Park and I was wondering are there any tricks to getting autographs on game day. I also read something about Autograph Alley on the Red Sox homepage. What is that?
Brian: One trick I learned, is that a lot of the time, Eckersley will do the pre-game show right outside of Fenway, and will USUALLY sign a few autographs after he's done. I got him on a baseball and a card last year. However, waiting for him means missing the beginning of the game (not something most ppl would do for a Yankees game). It also ruins your chances of getting any sigs inside the stadium but from personal experience, Fenway is a crapshoot, rarely players sign on either team. Also Autograph alley is on the outskirts of the stadium on Yawkey Way (near Gate A). where the Sox will have some former player come sign. Last year the few times I went it was Billy Harper and Pesky on another day. You never know who might be there, Longborg, Tiant, and Malzone have been spotted, but usually there's a long line no matter who it is and if you just ask around someone will know. Also Remy will sometimes be at his sausage stand Rem-Dawgs, and the same can be said for Luis Tiant at El-Tiante's. Other than that, good luck, sometimes players sign in the stadium, sometimes they don’t it all depends on their moods. Outside the stadium is usually more of a sure thing, but not as big names, so the choice is yours.
