Eddie was as pleasant as I have heard he was (didn't say a word to me or the two people around me that attempted to engage). Good time otherwise, got photos with Ryan Mountcastle and Hunter Harvey at the $5 photo booth (other names that I heard were there were Cody Carroll, Chance Sisco and Pedro Araujo). I failed miserably in both attempts at the claw machine, there was a ball with suite tickets sitting up pretty on my first attempt and I didn't line it up right. Fun giveaways from the minor league affiliates, Shorebirds were giving away balls and vouchers for two free tickets, Tides gave away a beach bag, Keys gave away a hat, nothing from the Baysox.

Apparently 8,000 people showed up for this, per MASN tweet.

 

That's quite a drop.  This was from a 2017 article

Quote

An estimated crowd of more than 15,000 fans filled the Baltimore Convention Center on Saturday, surpassing last year's attendance by more than 3,500, marking the fourth FanFest crowd of at least 15,000 fans in the past five offseasons.

Hays looks lean and muscular - seems ready to go.

Alright!!!!   I've been waiting for one of these.

In the past week we have completed a coaching staff, announced the 58 guys who are going to camp, and had Fanfest.   And Hays looks like he's in good shape.

Looks like we might actually be fielding a team this year!

Plus Hyde said that Yusniel Diaz is a "big-time prospect"!
