Backstage at Fenway?
May 21, 2018 7:39 AM   Subscribe

Bill "Spaceman" Lee is playing in an alumni game at Fenway Park on my birthday. I would really like to get his autograph. Does Fenway have anything like a stage door at a theatre or a nightclub where I could wait and see if he'd sign something?

I've searched for his management's info, but can't find who his representation is, so I can't reach out to them for an autograph. This seems like the next best thing

Generally if you are going to get a autograph from a baseball player there is a players exit / parking lot that people hang out at after the game to get autographs. Possible he would leave that way.

But I don't think he would necessarily use that exit... if its an alumni game, I bet if you get there early (usually gates open 2 to 2.5 hours before game time) and go down by the dugouts, Bill Lee and whatever other old-timers are playing will be signing. There will be a mob of folks trying to get autographs but if you are patient and focused you'd have a good chance. Make sure to bring a sharpie and whatever you want signed (photo, ball, etc.)

The press release mentions extended hours for Autograph Alley, so it's possible he could show up there. The Team Store posts schedules on their facebook page.

Schedules are up, and May 27's Autograph Alley is Billy Conigliaro.

Response by poster: Billy Conigliaro is the less interesting of the two Bills at Fenway that day.

I hope I can get Spaceman’s autograph! I will follow your advice.
