Connecticut Defenders vs. Bowie Baysox – 07/27/09

If you have read my posts you will see that I saw the Defenders a couple of weeks earlier in Reading, PA. The whole purpose of seeing them early was to be able to get Madison Bumgarner on multiple cards. He is signing only one card at a time and with so many different cards you need to max your signing opportunities.

So going into the game in Bowie, before the Connecticut team came in, I only had a few other cards besides Bumgarner's. Even with a fairly large number of collectors, I was able to get nearly every player, including Bumgarner, except for starting pitcher Geivy Garcia, and pitching coach Ross Grimsley, who was attending a Baltimore Oriole function.

Connecticut continues to be a great signing team with little attitude. Jackson Williams continues to one of our favorites, having met him for the first time last year in the fall instructional league.
