Luke Scott’s Autograph Signing for the WFN: Pictures and Mini-Report

On Saturday, fans of the Orioles – and fishing – got the chance to have a meet and greet/autograph session with Luke Scott at the Bass Pro Shops at Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, Maryland.

Fans lined up early to get a glimpse of the Baltimore Orioles fan favorite and after a painful home opener loss on Friday, the slugger brightened up many in attendance. As it is, Luke seemed to be very appreciative of the attention and the effort of the fans that came out to meet him.

Luke – unlike some athletes, who I have observed over the years – took his time to have some small talk with fans, engage with them, and also feel at ease. Amazingly, he signed anything – and everything given to him.

All in all, about roughly 250 fans – a strong number for an event like this – waited in line for a chance to meet and get a John Hancock from him.

Saturday’s event was held in conjunction with the World Fishing Network and their latest promotion, which featured Luke Scott.

WFN’s Luke Scott promotion allows fans to enter online for a chance to fish with the slugger, receive a cash prize plus other goodies.

I spoke briefly with WFN’s Doug Drotman and simply asked him why Luke was worthy of being chosen as a face for WFN.

“Simply, Luke loves fishing and the outdoors. He’s a perfect choice.”

Finally, during a five minute break in the event, Luke got a chance to talk with the Oriole Post and also the Baltimore Sports Report about fishing and Orioles baseball.

Both blogs participated in a Q&A with the slugger and the topics ranged from the rough start to the season (as of Friday’s game), some words about being a major leaguer, Mike Gonzalez and his preparation for the season.

I’ve got to give a special thanks to the Baltimore Sports Report for posting the interview on Youtube, as my recorder died and I got zero material I was able to transcribe from.
