It's actually a tie for me.
My first favorite is an autograph I received on a Red Sox ticket stub from David Cone at Fenway Park in 1997. It was during warm-ups and everyone else had raced over to another part of the seats along the third base line to get autos from Derek Jeter. I stayed behind and had a really great 10-15 minute conversation with Dave about his perfect game, etc. He was the absolute nicest professional athlete I've ever met and very generous with his time. I was even luckier after talking with Cone to also receive autos from Cecil Fielder, Tino Martinez, Jeff Nelson, Greame (sic) LLoyd, and Mel Stottelmyre.
The second one is an 8x10 color photo I had signed by Terry O'Reilly several years back at a store opening. I had my son with me, who was real young at the time and Terry was just an all around nice guy and it was a thrill for both me and my son.
