How to Get Baseballs Autographed

October 23, 2008 by admin 

Add a new memory to your next trip to a baseball game!

Are you a baseball Fan? Do you know that baseball fans are the most successful at getting baseballs autographed!  Whether you own season tickets, or are planning your once in a lifetime trip to a major league game, getting a ball signed will make your trip to the ball park the most memorable.  The autographed baseball is the classic centerpiece of an autograph collection. 70% of autograph items being sold are fake, be sure you get your autographed baseball in person so you will be assured that it is genuine. Baseball legend Babe Ruth, for instance, has had his signature forged on old baseballs, then rubbed in dirt to make them appear to be from the 1930s. Just go to any ball game and remember our tips.

1.Pen – make sure you have your pen ready before asking for autograph. Also make sure that the pen can be used to write on the material that you intend to use, e.g. Baseball. There are metallic pens available on the market which can be used to write on practically anything. They are pretty good for autographs.
2.Know the name – You have to know the name of the player from whom you are trying to get an autograph. It is very likely that they will give you more importance when you call them by their first name, nick name or pet name.
3.Be polite and show respect – Saying “please”, “thank you” and other forms of common courtesy is always important.
4.Arrive at the game early – the place where you are sitting is very important. Try to arrive at the game early so that you can get the front seats. It will be easier to approach the players from the front line.

Your success will depend on your determination and confidence. You might not be successful on the first day but you have to keep trying.

    Thank you so much for the suggestion. My two boys are going to be super into doing this next time we go to a game. We have followed the Cubs forever and would love to have a collection of autographed balls.

    If you had the choice of using just one pen for getting autographed baseballs, which pen would you use and why? Thank you for your time.
