Keep a pen which is permanent and won’t bleed or discolor for them to use. Check hobby stores or memorabilia stores for a pen that is ideal for collecting quality autographs. Bring a quality photograph from home or use a photo sold by the gift shop.
Depending on how the day is going you may get a “yes” or “no”. Players appreciate respect because they’ve got dozens of fans yelling at them all at once. They’ll be more inclined to sign if you call out to them using their name. And using the proper term of respect such as “Mr Guerrero” rather than “Vladdy” will give you much more success. Don’t take rejection personally. They may just not be in the mood for it at the particular game you’re attending. Try again the next game, perhaps he will remember you, and give in. Be polite, even if they tell you “no;” there’s always next time.
