Not bad at all.  I was disappointed that I didn't get any of the former White Sox that were there, with the exception of El Caballo.  Hopefully I'll be able to get Britt Burns, Jason Bourgeois, Geoff Blum, and Gary Majewski tomorrow.

Some guys that seemed especially nice:  Bobby Meacham, Hunter Pence, Matt Lindstrom, Tommy Manzella.  When I asked Manzella if he would sign, his response was "of course".  I liked that!

Someone that didn't seem very nice:  Roy Oswalt.  He did line everybody up and sign 1 per for the whole line, so I can't complain too much.  But he never responded to anybody's thank you's or praise.  He could definitely have been a lot more personable. 

The Astros big names all seemed to do the same thing.  Line everybody up and do one per.  From what I hear, Oswalt and Berkman are pretty tough, so I was glad to get both in the same day.  We'll see if I'm so lucky tomorrow.

Now for the mail returns:

Greg Bollo - 3/3
Mike Cameron - 2/2
Sammy Ellis - 3/3
Tito Francona - 2/2
Ted Gray - 2/2
Jim Landis - 10/10
Don Larsen - 2/2
Eddie Robinson - 2/2
Gene Stephens - 2/2
Kevin Tapani - 2/2
Rich Wortham - 3/3

Dustin has been a class act his entire career, and he has maintained his beautiful autograph the entire time.  He was even nice enough to add a great inscription to the World Series photo.  Thanks Dustin!

If there is enough interest, I may also get images of A.J. Pierzynski, Jim Thome, Bobby Jenks, Jermaine Dye, Chris Getz, and Gordon Beckham, as well as an additional shot of Alexei Ramirez.  Here are those shots:

Speaking of the show in Rosemont, I got some great autographs there.  The show itself was pretty weak, but the autograph lineup was quite nice.  I got the following from the show's autograph guests (all were free except for Aparicio and Fisk):

Luis Aparicio - 16x20 x3, baseball, Gold Glove baseball, mini helmet, jersey, bat, card
Dick Butkus - 8x10
Bob Feller - 8x10 x2, baseball
Carlton Fisk - 16x20, mini helmet, 12x18, card
Jim Morrissey - 8 cards
Billy Pierce - 8x10, 16x20 x2, card x2, mini helmet
Mel Renfro - 8x10, card
Pete Rose - 8x10
Mike Squires - 8x10 x2, Gold Glove baseball, 6 cards
Ken Stabler - 8x10

Carlton Fisk was very interested in the photo showing him and Tom Seaver posing on the dugout steps.  I got his mailing information, and promised to send him a copy.

I also promised to send Billy Pierce a copy of the 1959 reunion photo, as he said he only has a very small one.  Billy was a class act as always.  When I told him that I would send him that photo, I said "It's the least I can do after all of the things you have signed for me through the mail."  He replied "I sure do sign a lot of it!"

Luis Aparicio obviously did not want to be there.  He tried refusing to put inscriptions that people had paid for (just HOF and ROY and whatnot, nothing strange), and from what I hear he just got up and left with people still in his line. 

Mike Squires was extremely friendly.  The photo that the official merchandise booth was selling showed Mike with an obvious black eye.  He said that photo was taken after he was hit in the face by a groundball, and that it was the only time that had ever happened.  While he was signing mine, I asked him to inscribe it "1983 White Sox, Winning Ugly".  I said to him that it would be a fitting inscription, with the black eye and all.  He and his "handler" both starting cracking up. 

Some highlights:
