As far as I know, they have been doing it for nearly 20 years. They just send out groups of players and alumni to the bigger towns that have Royals games on the radio. They cover parts of four or five states (Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas, and maybe northern Oklahoma)zman40https://www.blogger.com/profile/07221290018484413350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448030808247749541.post-89852756268550096142009-04-29T23:03:00.000-05:002009-04-29T23:03:00.000-05:00I can go for free alumni sigs!

They would sit up outside in a commons area at a table and give free autographs. I met Luis Gonzalez, Curt Schilling, Kevin Bass, Bob Watson, and several others that way.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433794715369859715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448030808247749541.post-13601374732736751152009-04-29T22:23:00.000-05:002009-04-29T22:23:00.000-05:00I went to Astrosfest this year while I was down th...I went to Astrosfest this year while I was down there for a wedding. Now, they host it at Minute Maid during their last exhibition game before the season starts. The Fanfest is free with paid admission to the game (I got in for $7). But, they charged for most autographs. It was $20 to get in a line and there was usually three or four players in a line. I ended up just getting alumni autographs for free.zman40https://www.blogger.com/profile/07221290018484413350noreply@blogger.com
