<<***SOME INFO REGARDING MY AUTOGRAPHED ITEMS:***
++98% OF THEM WERE OBTAINED IN PERSON. HOPEFULLY THE FACTS BELOW WILL ASSURE YOU:
++I STARTED GOING TO SPRING TRAINING IN THE 70'S. (I'M NOW 76.)
++BEGINNING IN THE MID 70'S I WENT TO SPRING TRAINING WITH A TV SPORTSCASTER FRIEND FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND I HAD AN ON THE FIELD PRESS PASS, ENABLING ME TO GET MANY PHOTOS AND AUTOGRAPHS. ATTACHED ARE COPIES OF A COUPLE OF MY PRESS PASSES.
!!!THIS ENABLED ME TO GET THIS 1984 SPORTING NEWS COVER SIGNED DURING SPRING TRAINING IN 1984 BY BOTH CAL RIPKEN AND HIS FATHER, THEN A COACH.!!!
THIS IS THE FRONT AND BACK PAGES ONLY. SEE MY PICTURE. THE FRONT COVER SIGNED BY BOTH CAL AND HIS DAD HAS BEEN FOLDED AND THE OUTSIDE EDGES ARE ROUGH AND HAVE A COUPLE OF TEARS. THIS WAS SIGNED BY BOTH IN PEN.
(IT WAS LATER THAT I REALIZED A SHARPIE WAS THE WAY TO GO.)
I HAVEN'T FOUND MANY, IF ANY, OTHER ITEMS SIGNED BY BOTH JR. AND SR.
++I ALSO BEGAN GOING TO CARD SHOWS, AND ATTENDED MANY WHERE PLAYERS SIGNED, IN ALBANY, N.Y., COOPERSTOWN, NY, AND IN THE NEW YORK CITY AND N.J. AREAS.
++IN 1989 I MOVED TO PORT CHARLOTTE, FL. THEN THE HOME OF THE TEXAS RANGERS. I WAS ABLE TO GET MANY AUTOGRAPHS THERE AND IN NEARBY SPRING SITES.
++IN THE EARLY 90'S I BEGAN UMPIRING COLLEGE BALL, AND ALSO WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO UMPIRE SOME MAJOR LEAGUE SPRING "B" GAMES (MAKE UP GAMES,) AAA GAMES, INTRASQUAD GAMES, GAMES DURING THE YEAR WHEN MAJOR LEAGUERS WERE SENT DOWN TO FL. TO REHAB INJURIES, "FANTASY CAMPER GAMES," AND I ALSO UMPIRED THE ENTIRE SPRING SCHEDULE THE STRIKE YEAR WHEN "REPLACEMENT PLAYERS" (AND UMPIRES) WERE USED.
++ATTACHED ARE COPIES OF ONE OF MY PRESS PASSES, AN AL UMPIRE ID CARD, A PHOTO OF ME ON THE FIELD DURING SPRING, A PHOTO OF ME UMPING, AND A PHOTO OF ME AT A CARD SHOW (LONG AGO.) TED WILLIAMS AND MANY OTHERS WERE SIGNING AT THIS ONE.
++THE ALBANY, NY AREA WAS ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS FROM COOPERSTOWN. I WENT TO CARD SHOWS THERE, AND ALSO TO MANY HALL OF INDUCTION CEREMONIES.
