Clint Hartung took one year.
Many HOFers took only a few days as did Bobby Thomson.
I can remember the joy of going to the mailbox every day to see who sent us back an autograph today. Great bonding experience with my son.
Now my son has a great job at ESPN and works closely with all the baseball people there. No autographs though  .
It is a shame that this is what it has turned into:
"Just got an email from Steiner that indicates they now have a Barry Larkin exclusive." |
I didn't know your son was old enough to have a job at ESPN.. Is your son Mark Simon?
