Here's my souvenir from the ASG FanFest in KC yesterday, Oscar Taveras' Futures Game worn cap. Oscar is the Cardinals' top prospect. MLB was selling authenticated balls from the Home Run Derby and had a few caps from the Futures Game. I assume most items from the Futures Game will be auctioned on MLB.com; the only caps they had were George Brett, the KC prospects and Taveras. When we left around 4 p.m., only the Brett cap remained ($750 price tag could be why it didn't sell).

Cool! I have the caps worn by Shelby Miller and Carlos Martinez in last year's game.

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to acquire Kolten Wong's Futures Game cap to go along with Taveras' cap. Now I need to get these caps signed.  |

Nice pickups. If you get a chance to attend a game in Springfield, both are great signers. I have been to 2 games this year and both of them signed at each one.

Wish I could get down there, but it's a long drive and probably a night in a hotel. And next week is the last time they're home. Maybe they'll be in St. Louis in September, if only to watch (not on the roster). They both should be around a long time, so I'll find them eventually. |

I hear you on the long drive. It is about a 5 and half hour drive for me, but it is a great place to see a game. We went to a couple of Sunday night games which included bobblehead giveaways, free ice cream for kids, and run the bases. Both my children loved it. After one of the games, Taveras signed my daughter's ticket stub and took a picture with her.  |

Hey Jeff, where did you get the Wong cap? I never saw it up for auction.

Hey Jeff, where did you get the Wong cap? I never saw it up for auction. That was my plan. ;D Got it directly from MLB. When I bought the Taveras, I asked if they also had the Wong. They didn't -- it already was packed for NYC -- but they promised to give me a shot at it since I already bought the Taveras at FanFest and would have bought the Wong there if they'd brought it. They were very accommodating. |
