While away on vacation recently, I was briefly reunited with my childhood signed baseball collection. Some legends, some not so much:
Tommy John - the faded black signature, obtained in person when he was the manager of the Staten Island Yankees in 2004. The other signatures are all guys on that team. I thought I was slick having him sign in a different color to stand out, but I guess 11 year old me didn’t know much about sharpie’s fading
Moises Alou - a gift from my dad
David Newhan - obtained in person at Mets spring training in 2007
Juan Marichal - obtained in person at All Star FanFest in 2013
Pedro Martinez - a gift from my dad
Vance Wilson - obtained at a signing sometime in early 2000s
Bottom left ball - don’t know who this is
Whitey Ford - a gift from my dad
Bottom, 2nd from right - don’t know who this is
Ty Wigginton - obtained at a signing in early 2000s
