Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo made an appearance at a
Bigg's grocery store to promote an energy health supplement drink. It was a great chance to obtain some Arroyo signatures but apparently the main purpose of the event -to promote the milk-based drink - is for naught, as I can not even recall the actual name of the drink! Scheduled for 5:00-7:00 pm, I has presumed that the attendance might be light at the autograph signing as it was being held on a weekday and at a time when many people are still either at work or on their commute home from work. There also was not a lot of promotion of the event so a
ll this led to a line of
approximately 15 people waiting in line when Arroyo arrived. Bronson spent a few minutes talking to a couple of people at the front of the line and then got down to the business at hand. Arroyo had small promotional pictures with him and most everyone in line seemed to have brought multiple items with them for the signing. The line moved slowly as Bronson willingly autographed multiple items and chatted with fans as he signed for them.I approached the table with a variety of photographs and Arroyo immediately loved a cartoon photograph that I presented for signing. Using a blue sharpie, Arroyo inked all seven of my photos with his bold autograph,
accompanied with a "61", his uniform number. I waited a few more minutes and went through the line a second time, getting Bronson to autograph my Bronson Arroyo
bobble head doll and three more photos (one Reds and two Red
Sox). Since the line was non-existent with more than an hour left, I went through a final time giving Arroyo copies of the photographs he liked earlier. He also asked me if I could print a large photo of him as either a member of the Cincinnati or Boston Red
Sox for an event being held at his former high school. As I had a stack of over-sized photographs for him to sign this time, I pulled a large photo print of him pitching for the Reds from the stack and handed it to him. He thanked me and willingly signed six more items for me, including three copies of varying sizes of a photograph of Arroyo meeting President George Bush. The former President threw out the first pitch on Opening Day a few years ago so it was cool to get copies of this historical moment autographed. Signed in silver Sharpie, the final result is amazing and Arroyo inked the other three photos in a blue Sharpie.
