Are there any activities for kids at the National show?

Hi Guys, Are there any activities for kids at the Nationals besides cards? Have there been any cool things for kids to do at the other ones? I am going to this year's national in atlantic city. This will be my first national show so I am going to be bring my favorite baseball player with me (my oldest son Eric). Last year in the majors of little league (highest level for his age) he hit .419 for the season. He will turn 13 while the show is going on (july 24) so I would like to do something special with him while we are there (probaby on friday the 25th). Any suggestions? Neil

The Chicago National had a really cool setup done by Major League Baseball. It had hitting cages, practice pitching with a radar gun, stuff stuff to look at and other cool stuff.

I think I'll get a table and have Eric sign autographs.
I was in Chicago with my 13 year old and he enjoyed it even though we didn't see a whole lot just for kids. They have free give aways. Where else could Eric get a Mr. Mint Bobbin head doll?
Fridge Perry was signing free autographs for kids which was kind of ironic because the kids didn't know who he was and he wasn't signing for adults.

Hey Galveston, One of his dreams is to someday be asked for autographs by his future fans. I'd settle for someone elses autograph on a rent check so that I can buy more cards. Did your son have a good time? Did you while he was with you? Neil
