An Overview of Autographing at Trustmark Park in Pearl Missisppi

The visitor's dugout is on the 1st base side. The visitors and some Braves will exit the tunnel. That is where you should set up for the best chance to get some visitor's autographs. If you set up by the dugout, you have made a grievous error, and your results will bear this out.

The Braves' dugout is on third. The Braves may exit from the tunnel, but they also have access to the clubhouse via another tunnel. If you want to get Braves autographs pregame, you should set up closer to this dugout.

The clubhouses are in the large building on the thirdbase side. The Braves have two doors, as do the visitors. Most of the Braves will exit via the double doors leading to the parking lot. Occasionally, one will pop out through the exit gate seperating the clubhouse building from the other building on the 3rd base side. Keep an eye out.

The visitors exit through a double door near the outfield gate. It's just around the corner from the Braves' exit. There is another exit, this one inside the stadium. It is likely that this door is where the Braves who come out that gate, however, I am unsure of the exact location of this door. I do know that Ben Sheets used it, and he walked out the outfield gate. I cannot recall if this is the exit that Chipper used, though.

When I travel to Trustmark Park, I get the visitors and whatever Braves happen by me pregame. For postgame, I get the Braves, unless I went down there for somebody specific (like Ben Sheets).
