Jesse Winker has collected signs from fans throughout the season. He received a couple outside of the stadium at the beginning of the year and several more for his daughter.
When the Reds played the St. Louis Cardinals at the end of their last homestand in July, a young girl sitting with her father in left field made a sign for Winker. He asked for it midway through the game as she dropped it into the field and he carried it back to his locker, trading a ball for the sign.
Then in the first game in New York against the Mets last week, Winker saw an “awesome” sign.
