Thanks to a couple of nice posters at HF Boards, Adie and I decided to "sneak" into the Teal and White game (TWG).
The TWG is the Sharks annual preseason welcome for season ticket holders. The event is free with your ticket holder id and there are autograph tables set up for all the players followed by a scrimmage. Needless to say, we are not season ticket holders.
One poster emailed me the "save the date" flyer to use as a season ticket holder invitation and another poster pm'd me his phone number in case the "invitation" didn't fly. See? There are still awesome people in the world. Otherwise, I might not have made the drive to San Jose with no guarantee of getting in the doors. We did have a backup plan, which was to backtrack to Oakland since the A's were in town.
But, with just a little stress, we got in! Yay! First thing we did was note that all of the lines to the autograph tables were already hella long. No thank you. The sucky thing (for me) was that 3 of the 4 tables were located in the upstairs eateries...so you couldn't just walk thru and see the players and take photos. You had to actually stand in line if you wanted to gawk. Again...no thank you.
So, thanks to the setup, here are a ton of pictures from the ONE table that was located directly on the concourse.
Luckily three of my favorites were at the table,
