I Have The Coolest Insurance Agent Ever (Every Offense Intended Trout)

The overall point of the thread is this question: What should I take to get autographed by some of the players? Most of my Jazz t-shirts are kind of dark in color so those probably wouldn't work. I don't have a jersey of a current player, and I also don't have a basketball. I work right by the ESA so I can swing by the Fanzz there or the one at the Gateway even to buy something beforehand, but what should I get? A basketball, a shirt, or something else?

Baseball glove.

This actually reminds me - A year or so ago Derrick Favors was at a Macey's signing autographs. My brother said that somebody brought a baseball for him to sign. Derrick laughed but still went ahead and signed it.
 
It was ok. The lines were too long so we just got our picture with Rudy and Evans and got Favors and Bookers autograph. Shot a free throw. My BIL had a great time, he's kind of a giant pain in the butt (autistic or possibly aspergers) so he knows nothing about basketball, just plays video games all day. But he thought it was the coolest thing in the world. He ended up playing super smash brothers and a black guy in jazz warm ups asked if he could play with him. My BIL was stoked to be playing against a real NBA player but .... it was actually just Johnnie Bryant. I told him it was Derrick Favors though, so its all good. Anywho, super fun for kids a bit less fun for the adults. All in all a good night. What about you?

On a side note Favors is legitimately one of the nicest people ever. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

My son and I had a good time. He doesn't know a ton about basketball, but he had fun having some of the players sign his basketball. Rudy and Jeremy had a little fun with him when giving the ball back, like holding just out of his reach. I think my son had the most fun playing games for a little bit once the players were gone.

EDIT: The highlight for me aside from just having a fun night with one of my kids was getting to tell coach Q that he's doing an awesome job.

Yeah, 90% of my night was spent standing in line and then watching him play video games. Still fun though and a good thing for the Jazz to do.
