Colin got a great start on his Tampa Yankees team ball last week, snagging 14 signatures before a Florida State League game against the Daytona Cubs. He had a great time, too, announcing the Yankees' batting order in the bottom of the fifth.
The biggest deal about the game, though, was watching it with Colin's Nana and Babop, visiting from New England. They're fervent New York Yankees fans, so Babop bought us all seats right behind Tampa's dugout. That alone made for great memories.
Besides Matthew Cusick (shown above), the following prospects, listed top to bottom, signed this New York Yankees ball (the park's souvenir store didn't have any Tampa Yankees logo balls):
Jack Rye, manager Luis Sojo, a former big leaguer, and Blue, the squad's mascot;
Jonathan Hovis, Austin Krum, Craig Heyer, Cusick and Grant Duff;
Mitch Hilligoss (who tossed us a game-used ball between innings), Addison Maruszak and Jonathan Ortiz; and
Brandon Laird, Jesus Montero (the Yankees No. 2 prospect) and Eric Fryer.

The one signature you can not identify is Yankees #2 prospect Jesus Montero
Thank you, Brett, for that information. If anyone would recognize it, I figured it would have been you.
