Adrian Gonzalez 6/30/13 Viva Los Dodgers



I was going to go to the Adrian Gonzalez signing in Huntington park on Saturday but I knew the lines would be very long. I was prepared to be there around 5:00 a.m. and wait til 10:00 a.m. On Friday I checked all my favorite blogs and I saw Adrian was going to be signing at Viva Los dodgers. So I decided to skip the Saturday signing and try Sunday since I was already going to the game. Sunday games are almost always at 1:10 pm and the gates open at 11:10am. After getting some KFC to bring into the game I headed over to the gate on the hill by Academy RD. For some reason it's always empty while the other gates are full. I was the first car there but as 11:10 was nearing I started recognizing some people from signings stand in line at the gate. I began worrying maybe there was going to be a huge line already but I was lucky that my parking spot was literally next to Viva Los Dodgers. As I was getting in line everyone that was at the gate started getting in line behind me. There was some cutting but the line was very short so I didn't mind it.
I was able to get a game used ball signed that Adrian tossed to my sister on 6/25. Sunday was her birthday so I was happy to get it signed for her. The experience of graphing is something I enjoy as much as having the autograph 
The line was still short so I tried getting a card signed but after 5 minutes the signing ended. I did a quick walk around and got some free stuff. As I entered the stadium I saw it was 11:40 so that made me happy It only took me about half an hour to get Adrian's autograph instead of waiting for more than 5 hours on Saturday! All in all it was a great day. My seats were in the shade and the dodgers won easily 6-1. Thanks to the Dodgers and Adrian Gonzalez
