Found this at a craft / vintage fair my wife takes us to every year. I’ve been looking for a Ted Klu autograph for a bit. For context I’m about 7 hours away from Cincinnati, my hometown so not often I see any thing related to the Reds. I paid $40 bucks for this. It was with it for Ted’s Auto and the story! Next I need to figure out how to protect and authenticate it! Any suggestions?

I can make out the following signatures:

Ted Kluszewski

Johnny Bench

Rawly Eastwick

Gary Nolan

Don Gullet?

I don’t know who that is on Dave Concepcion‘s photo.

Just a week ago on my Top Prospect Tuesday post, I highlighted Trey Yesavage from the Blue Jays. I figured he’d get that one start in the Series to make his mark — but wow, was I wrong.

His Game 1 outing was solid and showed poise beyond his years, but tonight in Game 5 he was absolutely lights out. Breaking two World Series records — 12 strikeouts, no walks, and his longest career start — all at just 22 years old.

To have the best game of your young career on baseball’s biggest stage… that’s the stuff dreams are made of.

...the Royals beat St. Louis in Game 7 of the World Series (the "I-70 Series"). It was the first championship I experienced of a team I grew up watching, so to say it was exciting was a bit of an understatement.

1989 Fleer Eric Davis

Today in 1990 Eric “The Red” Davis became just the 22nd player in World Series history to go deep in his first at-bat — and it set the tone for what was to come. He was flat out electric — the kind of player who made you believe anything could happen when he stepped to the plate.

Omar’s Rookie Card

He was the last active player in North America’s major pro sports to have played in the 1980’s. And was the oldest player to play SS in MLB history. Omar, from Venezuela, won the WS with the Cleveland Indians in 1995. He led all major leaguers in games played at SS with 2,709 in the history of the game.
