Review of Autograph Policy
A great little feature that can run in any market during this glorious, miraculous, gift from God--the beginning of the baseball season.
The piece focuses on an unusual policy instituted by the Arizona Diamondbacks that requires players to attend a fan autograph session before every game. While this seems like a home run for fans, some players are skeptical—for good reason. A nice dose of context that examines this interesting twist between a major league team, its players, and its fans. A nice piece, well reported, that can fit into many applications at stations. Celebrate the season—air a baseball piece. |

Review of Autograph Policy
Solid narration. If it's good enough for Only a Game, it's good enough anywhere. This is a solid piece that grabbed me when I read the description. I like what the Diamondbacks owner has done, and I laugh -- LAUGH -- at the absurd response from Luis Gonzales. This is a piece for any baseball market, major or minor. Good interviews and sound.
