Weekend Autograph Opportunities: Steve Garvey in Scottsdale, Arizona

Here are this weekends autograph opportunities and events throughout the Southland. As always, be sure to check the Blue Heaven Calendar for other events (a link can always be found on the tab at the top of this page, just left of center), and always confirm with the establishment. Everything is subject to change. Please email me with any tips about upcoming events in Southern California. As the rest of the week progresses I'll update this post with other events (if there are any) as I become aware of them. Also, I don't always list every event below, so be sure to check my Calendar. I always try to favor free signing events over paying events. Click on any pic to embiggen.

Here is a notice for Dodger fans currently in or going to Arizona this weekend. There is a Baseball Spring Training FanFest happening in Scottsdale, and former Dodger great, along with several of current and former ballplayers, will be there to sign autographs for fans. It is called the Baseball City Experience. Go to their website to find out more, here.

It happens on Saturday, March 7th and Sunday, March 8th from 11:00 AM – 6:30 PM. General Admission is free. I am uncertain about the cost for autographs, or how the whole program works. There are wristbands for sale that allow access ($10) to interactive events and a VIP experience ($100) that specifically states that it allows you to interact with players and get autographs. So, I am uncertain if that means you have to get the VIP pass in order to get autographs, or if there is a "cost per signature" option available without having to purchase a VIP pass. Of note, there are only 50 VIP passes available per day. If I receive clarification from them I will pass that along.
