This morning I got up and drove into town today,you see I am in the outskirts of Phoenix so any card shows or signings in town are an easy 45min drive. This trip was sort of on impulse but I figured what the heck. Might as well go a head buy tickets and make the drive. Archie Bradley was chosen #7 in the 2011 MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks and is considered one of the top pitching prospects in all of baseball..This was also his first public signing appearance as well. The groups were moving very fast as he was only signing for one hour but what struck me about this kid is that he seemed genuinely very humble and that he was happy to be there. I ended up getting a baseball signed and a photo.
He was even kind enough to take a photo with me as well.
It was a very good experience and this kid should have a good career in his future!!
I Liked how he was asking questions on which pens were more appropriate for each item.
It has been my experience that this sort of kindness and humbleness doesn't last. Enjoy it while you can. I have had some of the best experiences in-person with rookies, and then 2 years later, the player was completely different. Hope this guy breaks the mold. We sure do need some genuine nice guys in baseball now. Glad you guys had a great time.
