Great idea! When you mail in your autograph requests, do you also send a self addressed envelope with postage?

Poor Jordan Palmer.. Although who can blame the kid and parent for wanting Carson Palmer's autograph over Jordan, but it is pretty rude or awkward. People tend to forget sometimes that getting an autograph is a priveledge and not a right. I…

Have You Mailed Your Spring Training Autograph Requests? Time Is Running Out...

Are you ready for some nice weather and baseball season yet? I sure am and to prove it I have mailed 100 autograph requests to current players in care of their spring training addresses.In the March edition of Autograph we provided the spring training addresses for all of the major league teams. This is the ideal time of year to write to your favorite baseball players, coaches and managers and you still have time. During spring training the autograph successes are far better than what I…See More

Holy cow...what a great read! Awesome stuff. I heard this guy do an interview on an LA sports radio station years ago, and it was fascinating.

Art Schlichter- Football Star Goes From Private Signings To A Private Cell

Growing up in Ohio my first memories of college football are of watching Ohio State quarterback Art Schlichter as he lead the Buckeyes from 1978 to 1981. He was the last starting quarterback for legendary Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes, and was in the lineup when Hayes' infamous punch of Clemson linebacker Charlie Bauman in the 1978 Gator Bowl effectively ending Hayes’ coaching career. Art was an All-American with a Rose Bowl appearance, two Big Ten championships and his last three years in college…See More

I love the fact that she didn't think taking his picture was bothering him, but asking for a signature was! Lasorda, by the way, tells the BEST AUTOGRAPH STORY of all-time. He was a little boy, and asked a baseball player for his autograph.…

I remember a couple of years ago someone i knew seen tommy lasorda at a local restaurant. She asked him politely if she could take his picture on her phone. I asked why she did not get his autograph as well because i would of liked it. She said she…

Thanks for that story. A great read. I think with Palmer #2 (not #9...hehehehehe), he really may not have been paying attention. I've seen a lot of guys sign stuff, and not realize until the last minute. I've also seen other guys try to…

You should see a NASCAR race where you can have up to 20,000+ people in one area fighting for autographs. Thankfully, he drivers sign EACH week. However, even when Dale Earnhardt Jr. stopped to sign autographs for one hour last March in Bristol,…

HBO Hard Knocks- Did he really say that?...Really?

In my 30+ years of autograph collecting I had one of my worst collecting experiences recently. It was not an in-person experience or through-the-mail, it came while watching Episode 4 of HBO’s Hard Knocks. Carson Palmer is the 2002 Heisman trophy winning quarterback from USC and the Cincinnati Bengals starting quarterback. HBO spent training camp with the Bengals in Georgetown, Kentucky filming a documentary of the day to day experiences as they happen leading up to the start of the NFL season.…See More

Lonny Frey-- The end of an era... 1910-2009

It's rare in history that you can see the page turn or hear the door close, but that was the case when former baseball player Lonny Frey passed away last week of natural causes at the age of 99 years old. Lonny was a major league second baseman and shortstop from 1933 to 1948, while missing 1944 and 1945 to military service. He was the second-oldest living major league ballplayer and the oldest living New York Yankee. His accomplishments were many and his career was long. He played for the…See More

Jay R. Neill replied to Kimberly Cole's discussion 'Tricks of the Trade - Sharpies'

I only use Blue and Black Sharpies. I have not found Red to hold up well over time as they can fade. The new Silver Sharpies are very streaky and don't replace paint pens by any means. Sharpies do not hold up well when signing baseballs and…
