Until I discovered that the local minor league team brings in players every now and again for signings, my sports photos were few and far between. Aside from some early Mariners photo day shots, I met Bob Feller at a card shop. That was it. Then, I got a bunch of autographs at the 2001 Fan Fest, but was alone so didn't have any photos taken with any of them (Bob Gibson, Enos Slaughter, Orlando Cepeda, Carl Erskine, Rico Carty, Jim Rice, Pedro Guerrero, etc) except one…Garvey!

Gaylord Perry was the first MiLB event and I didn't try to get a photo with him and my boys didn't want to pose with him either. He was kind of a grouch too…
And these are just too good not to share. 1980 Mariners photo night. Sporting a vintage look that night, but love that I have these now all these years later.
