This weekend was the Oakland Athletic's Fan Fest and I had an amazing time. The event was completely sold out with 20,000 in attendance. It was packed and raining, but one of the best experiences of my life. Going into Fan Fest I had four things I wanted to accomplish: 1)Autographs, 2)Player photos, 3)Photos with the World Series trophies, and 4)Clubhouse tour. Unfortunately because it was packed I was only able to accomplish two of these things. I was only able to attend one autograph session and one player photo session, but that is where it gets amazing.
On Sunday I finally posted my Take Me Out To The Ball Game post with my idea for the Sonny Gray t-shirt, although it has been written since mid-January. I made the shirt since I wrote the post and was wearing it at Fan Fest on Saturday. The only autograph session I was able to attend just so happened to be with Sonny Gray and Stephen Vogt. The shirt was a success and without gushing too much it was a wonderful experience and opportunity as both a designer and a fan. I don't believe I have ever felt my work appreciated as much as it was on Saturday. The pictures of my shirt are shown here. Don't forget to notice the autograph on the front of the shirt.
I love my shirt and my autograph, but it made me think what are some ways to protect an autograph on a t-shirt without just putting it on display? I usually just take my autographed clothing and put it in frames or some other display, but I would really like to keep wearing this shirt. Someone suggested Woolite and cold water, but does anyone know if that works?

Still on the buzz of the excitement of this weekend I am dreaming about more projects for baseball games and baseball players. I already have a few more player t-shirts in mind and am resisting the urge to go out and purchase more materials. After all I still have plenty of projects to finish before I start any more. That said I am anxious to get started so my fingers will be in overdrive to finish my projects this week and of course I will post lots of pictures, either on here or on my Facebook page BooBear Designs.
