I'm in Canada, to order this book from the publisher would cost me $15 shipping, through Amazon it is $9. Decisions decisions

Its quite likely that the toughest autographs in the Baseball Hall of Fame are Cuban born Cristobal Torriente and Jose Mendez. Long before their recent induction into the Hall of Fame I was knocking on doors in Cuba 20 years ago. To my knowledge no autograph of either has ever been offered for sale and was confident that I was one of only maybe two or three people that knew what their autograph even looks like.
Examplars of their autographs will be in the book. I hope I'm wrong BUT wouldn't it be wierd if after the book comes out, so too do signatures of these all time toughies? Naw !!! No way that would happen. Would it ??
Say It ain't so Ron ! Say it ain't so

I believe that after the book comes out, the Roaches will have a few of them on snow white baseballs or, even better, a Cohiba or MonteCristo label , but it wont be seen because it will be item #659

I had alays head that Torriente was illiterate. I would be interested to see what his signature looks like.

There is a Jose Mendez signed ball listed in the next Legendary auction. I can't see a damn thing in the auction photos, but it is intriguing.

Then it really would be helpful to be in braille!

That book would pay for itself quickly.

[travrosty]

They would find out what some HOF autographs look like, hope there is an extensive ty cobb section.
