ROTFLMAOBBQ........what the hell?
drugs? schizophrenia?
"A guy dressed in full Phillies uniform -- complete with Phillies wristbands! -- showed up at the All-Star Fan Fest in New York and got people to actually hand him memorabilia to sign. This supposedly went on for 15 to 20 minutes before police escorted him out of the building. Note to memorabilia seekers: no player in his right mind would be in full uniform unless he's on the field. Ever. Another note to memorabilia seekers: have a clue who is signing your baseball, jersey, glove, etc. The name on the back of the jersey was C. Yeager, who wore No. 16. There never was a C. Yeager, who played for the Phillies. And every Phillies fan knows J.C. Romero wears No. 16 for the Phillies. As a side note, I think I've seen this guy before. Or at least I saw somebody just like him a couple springs ago in Bradenton, Fla. He showed up along the third-base line dressed in full uniform and players cracked jokes about his attire. Note to fans: no fan in his right mind should dress in a full Phillies uniform, unless he or she is under 10 years old.
Update: phillyblog.com said this guy's name is Cole Yeager. Read more about him here.
He seemed like a nice enough guy in the story, but the guy ruined baseballs and other memorabilia with his autograph because people believed he was a real player. That's pretty pathetic."

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

I know that guy is a tool for deceiving the fans like that, but I can't help but laugh at that story. I can't believe how many people are that easily duped...0

That is awesome. At least try and know who someone is befoer he signs your memorabilia....got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...0

that sucks.These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.0

You're supposed to know who the guy is before handing him your stuff to sign. I can understand little kids being upset... the stupid little kids... but the baseball fan little kids would have known better.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!
Hail, Hail!!!0 -
how is their memorabilia ruined? unless they intended to flip it on ebay, they now have a funny personal story to go along with whatever legit signatures they got0

That is funny! I always joke with my buddies that it would be hysterically funny to wear a complete uniform to a ball game. This guy had the balls to do it AND sign autographs. Classic.
Maybe he thought the manager would use him to pinch hit or something.All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.0 -
