Not sure about dates, but Earth City is mostly a commercial/industrial area. You could stay at one of the casino hotels that are close by with more to do in the evening. Harrah's in Maryland Heights is close. In the past, players are mostly thier to sign for the kids, but still sign for the persistent adults.
My experience has been that the rookies and dreamers will sign for anyone. Of course, most of those names you won't even recognize in a couple of years. However, if you want the big names to sign for you, your best bet is to have a child or hot female handy. When I've tried for signatures on my own, I've done no better than Sammy Seventh-round and Robert Rookie. However, combinations of my wife OR me with one of my kids on my shoulders has brought home several signatures.
One of my favorite stories that I love to tell.......at the 2004 camp in Macomb, I had my (at the time) 6 month old son in my arms when Pisa T. passed by. He signed for me, spent a couple of minutes telling me how he was about to be a father, and even asked to hold my son. So here's this sweaty nasty guy with a criminal history and a violent occupation wanting to hold my infant boy. Would I ever allow that? You bet your sweet bippy I did !!! I practically threw my son at Pisa while reaching for my camera!
I now have a 3-year-old, a 2-year-old, and a pregnant wife. I'll gladly rent out any of them for a reasonable rate to autograph seekers in the group.
