What' up Ags,

Josh Cohen, our baseball trainer, had this poster made up a few weeks after I threw my no-hitter. I've recently needed to print a few more for various reasons and accidently had an extra printed. I'd love to give it away to an Aggie and thought this would be the best place to find someone who'd enjoy it. It's a full sized poster and I went ahead and autographed it as well.

Would anyone enjoy this? And if so, I'd like to figure out a simple and fun way to give it away. I need some ideas. Maybe a trivia question or something, haha. Y'all let me know what you think!


P.S. They have this poster on file at CC Creations in College Station if anyone ever wants to get one made, I'd be more than happy to sign it. Or anything else for that matter, just gotta hit me up!

Ross

Are you kidding? I'd love to have the poster, what Aggie baseball fan wouldn't?

I've seen you pitch at Olsen many, many times..........loved that curve ball, I couldn't have hit it with an ironing board....hah!

I have a 13 year old who would love to have it.

Add me to the list of people who would enjoy owning this! It would go well with my 1,100 baseball cards of Aggies including about a dozen of your own.

Raffle with proceeds for a worthy cause....

I cant figure out how to paste the picture into my post. Someone help me haha

Dude! Can someone in BCS hook me up with this poster? I need it for B-man's bedroom!
I have a picture of him with you Ross from a game your team was at in Helena, Montana. We jsut happened to be there those couple of days.

If there is going to be a reprinting, I think you have several interested parties. My son included.

definitely interested!

Can y'all see what the poster looks like?? Cause I can't in this thread

No, and trying to follow the image link goes to an unrelated site.

You may have to save the image separately or take a print screen or something.

I still have my ticket stub from the game. I'd love to have this to go with it.

Okay so I save the image, but it won't let me attach it like an email. It asks for the "image URL."

Tanya - I remember that picture! Now teach me how you put it in your post, haha.

You should be able to upload it to tinypic.com and receive a link good for posting it in forums. Give that a try.

C'mon Strip.. Real bush league not being able to embed the pic. Haha

Got it! Check it out

Alright I have to mail this puppy out tomorrow because I fly back to Arizona this weekend. So whoever answers these three questions first, I'll give the poster to.

1) What Texas A&M pitching recruit signed in the MLB Draft, clearing up a roster spot and allowing me to Walk-On in 2009?

2) Who caught my first collegiate pitch?

3) During my no-hitter, who hit the comebacker that hit the San Diego State pitcher in the head, causing a lengthy delay in the game?

Sorry if those are lame, but they're the best I could come up with. Good luck!

1) Shelby Miller
2) Joe Patterson
3) Scott Arthur

And just for fun: Texags' reaction to your no-hitter

Love the reaction. And that is incorrect Mr Ackar

Darn. Am I allowed to reguess?

Haha no one else is guessing so it's all yours. Message me your address, I'll send it out today!

I don't have the stars to send you a message, but you can send it to
[/edit]
As for the name, so I don't have to disclose it here, and you don't have to give out your email address to a random guy, just address it to my username

Just to satisfy my curiosity, can you provide the answers.

1) Miller was committed to A&M but was drafted in the 1st round. There was a Kristopher Hobson that was committed, but signed, but he was a 1b I believe. I know Wilson, Raley, and Migl were all drafted and signed during 2009 as well.
2) I believe this was your first collegiate game pitched. If so, the play by play says Joe replaced Gonzo late in the game before you came in.
3) And the Play-by-Play for your no-hitter shows Scott Arthur with a single to the pitcher in the 5th.

Thanks for doing this!

Of course man, I hope you enjoy it!

Since my first year was the 2009 season, the guy who allowed me to walk-on would have been drafted in the 2008 draft. Which was Nathan Eovaldi. Little bit of a trick question I guess.

Having to look at the 2008 draft would make too much sense

Wait, our recruits can go pro even after they have signed with us?

Has this ever happened before?!? Details, please.

Dang I wish I would have checked the A&M Baseball Board earlier. That no hitter was amazing. I was a senior in high school watching the game on TV and I went crazy when y'all got the final out. My roommate was at the game and said it was an awesome experience! Best of luck to you in your baseball career! Gig Em!

HOW DO I NOT HAVE ONE OF THESE?!?!?!?!

Minks!

hit up Ross Hales at CC Creations, he'll whip you one right up.

Got the poster today! Looks super sweet, and now I need to find a frame.

Thanks again Ross. Looking forward to your comeback season next year.

P.S. When Topps or Panini come back to you to sign more baseball cards, you should throw a few of these in there:

Unfortunatly, I was unable to convince this seller to accept my offer, and the item is no longer on eBay.

Ross, will you be at any games this season? I'd love to get that poster signed for my little guy.
