Who: Outfielder
Chris Dickerson Team: Cincinnati Reds
Card: 2008 Topps Heritage High Series
Acquired: In Person, Redsfest '08
Comments: I'm becoming quite a Chris Dickerson fan. He
signed a card for me at Redsfest '07 and I've been following him since. He hit a MAMMOTH home run at the one spring training game I went to in 2008 and had a great call-up with the Reds at the end of the '08 season where he hit .304 over 31 games. I also did how he signs his cards along the edge - this one up the side,
like Mario Soto. Nice touch.
This card was nice to get signed too... I had JUST pulled it out of a pack of Topps Heritage Updates & Highlights the week leading up to Redsfest. Good timing.
So, when I did get this card signed, it was at the VERY end of Redsfest on that Saturday night. I had gotten to Chris' line late and ended up in the auxiliary line. Once things got moving in Chris' line, a few of us from the auxiliary line ended up getting into the main line and getting his autograph. When I finally
did get to him, he was exhausted. We chatted for a quick second and he said he was running on fumes at that point and was still on deck to play in the Reds poker tournament that night. He was a good trooper and singed a bunch of extra autographs for the line he had.
