If you’ve read this blog that much, you probably know that I’m a big Jeff Francoeur fan. Yeah, I know, he had a bad year last year, but he has always been great with the fans and signed far more often than he has to. For that reason, I’ve collected several magazines, 8×10′s, etc. over the years. They came in handy at AutographFest. He was seated at a station with Kelly Johnson and as usual was very cool. He signed a Sports Illustrated and bat for me, and Patrick got him to sign a preview magazine I happened to have (I swapped an extra Francouer with Patrick in return for an extra Kelly Johnson). Oh yeah…bet the house that Francoeur will be back this year!

Nice autos. Jeff’s always been good about signing. I saw the Braves out in San Diego for a three-game series about a year ago. Snagged his auto twice and before all three games he was signing for at least 15 minutes. Definitely one of the good guys in baseball.
