The Columbus Morning Sports Report 2014 was today at the Columbus Convention Center. My son and I paid to be VIPs and had many autograph opportunities today. Clark Kellogg was at the VIP reception and posed for photos and signed autographs. Chris "Beanie" Wells and Paul Warfield, former OSU Buckeye football players and NFL alumni, were both there and signed autographs. Mr. Wells was very nice about photographs with him -- thanks, Mr. Wells!
From the Columbus Blue Jackets, POHO John Davidson was there talking with fans and signing autographs. So were Boone Jenner, Brandon Dubinsky, and Jack Johnson. All were mingling and access was easy. There was not a lot of pressure to "hurry up -- they are going to leave". Instead, it was a relaxed atmosphere. In addition, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman was there and was chatting with a number of people. I spoke with him briefly. The CBJ folks signed our fan card from the 2014 playoffs that said "We Are The 5th Line".
This is a very nice event and autograph opportunities are ample. Check it out! It is an annual event put on by the Columbus Sports Commission.
